What is the Appellate Court?

The litigant who wants to uphold the ruling of the Circuit Court judge is called the Appellee. The function of the Appellate Court is to correct mistakes made by the trial judges in their interpretation and application of the law, and to ensure that the factual findings of the trial judges are supported by at least some evidence.
