What is the act of asking a higher court to review the judgment of a lower court called?

Affidavit
Estreat
Appeal
Supersedeas

The correct answer is: Appeal

The process of requesting that a higher court review the judgment made by a lower court is known as an appeal. This legal mechanism allows the parties involved to contest the decision, arguing that there were errors in the application of the law, discrepancies in the proceedings, or other issues that could have affected the outcome of the case. The appeal process is an essential component of the judicial system, ensuring that decisions can be examined and potentially corrected by a higher authority. This ensures fairness and allows for the possibility of rectifying unjust rulings. The higher court, upon reviewing the case, may affirm, reverse, or modify the lower court's decision based on the evidence and arguments presented in the appeal.
