Question

Imagine you lost a case in a trial court and you believe a mistake was made. What can you do? Explain the way your case can move “up” through the court system.

Answer 1

Answer:

The case can move up to an appeal or superior court.

Explanation:

If a legal error made by the previous judge or peace is successfully argued to the appeal/superior court, then the case will be reheard. This process can continue up to the supreme court (the highest court of the land in most jurisdictions), where a final judgement will be made. No "moving up" can occur after the case is judged by the supreme court.
