APPEALS The next big topic that will help you with Court Quest is the idea of appeals!

APPEALS One definition of “appeal” is to request that a higher court change the decision of a lower court.

APPEALS In the U. S. , several different courts may hear the same case. But they have to hear the case in the right order!

APPEALS This looks slightly different on the state or federal level… and slightly different from state to state!

APPEALS The general rule is that you start at the lowest appropriate court. When you’re playing Court Quest, read the court descriptions to find out which court should hear your case!

APPEALS If you lose your case in the lowest appropriate court you may APPEAL your case to the next court up the appellate system.

APPEALS If you lose your case in the lowest appropriate court you may APPEAL your case to the next court up the appellate system. s l a e p p a s r a e h l t r a r u e o d c Again, read the court e F his n T i t descriptions to make ases los ! t c r f u o o C sure you’re headed t c i r t s i D to the right court.

APPEALS Some cases will make it all the way up to the Supreme Court of the United States. The U. S. Supreme Court is located in Washington, DC – so it will show up off to the side of your map!
