Terms Used In CFR > Title 49 > Subtitle B > Chapter VIII > Part 821 > Subpart H - Appeal From Initial Decision
- Appeal: A request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to decide whether the trial was conducted properly. To make such a request is "to appeal" or "to take an appeal." One who appeals is called the appellant.
- Oral argument: An opportunity for lawyers to summarize their position before the court and also to answer the judges' questions.
- Precedent: A court decision in an earlier case with facts and law similar to a dispute currently before a court. Precedent will ordinarily govern the decision of a later similar case, unless a party can show that it was wrongly decided or that it differed in some significant way.
- Remand: When an appellate court sends a case back to a lower court for further proceedings.
