How often may a losing party in a case appeal to a higher court for a review of the decision?
A losing party in a case has the right to file a notice of appeal to an appellate court once. That court reviews the case and decides to affirm, reverse, or modify the original ruling, or it may send the case back to the lower court. If the appellate court upholds the lower court’s ruling, the losing party can request a review of the case by yet an even higher court. However, after the first appeal, a court can refuse to hear any additional appeals.
