A defendant in a criminal trial in the state or federal court systems can appeal that judgment to an appellate court. The appellate court is the intermediate step in the U.S. legal system. The appeal must be filed within a certain statutory time period following the verdict. In a criminal appeal, each side (defense and prosecution) must file a written brief with the appellate court that recites the facts of the case, the arguments being raised on appeal and the applicable law. The court will use the information in the briefs and ( and sometimes oral argument) to decide if the trial court erred during the trial or in its final decision. In both state and federal systems a decision by an appellate court can be appealed respectively to the United States Supreme Court or to a state supreme court depending on where the case originated.
