Appello is a legal term that refers to the act of appealing a court decision to a higher court. It is a process by which a party dissatisfied with the outcome of a trial seeks a review of the decision by a higher court. The purpose of an appello is to challenge errors of law or procedure that may have occurred during the trial, with the aim of obtaining a different or more favorable outcome. The appellant, or the party appealing the decision, must file a notice of appeal within a specified time frame and provide grounds for the appeal. The higher court will then review the case, including the trial record and any additional evidence or arguments presented by the parties, to determine whether the lower court made any errors that warrant a reversal or modification of the decision. The outcome of an appello can vary, with the higher court either affirming, reversing, or remanding the lower court’s decision.
