In a legal context, an appeal is a formal request asking a higher court to review and change the outcome of a lower court's decision, typically based on claimed errors in how the law was applied or the trial was conducted. Appellate attorneys specialize in this process, focusing on written briefs and oral argument rather than trials, witnesses, or new evidence. The term also applies more broadly to formal challenges of denied decisions, such as insurance claim appeals or benefits appeals.
