What is the definition of defendant-cross-appellant?
The cross-appellant in a case is the person who files a cross-appeal to counter an appeal already filed by the original appellant. Usually, the original appellant would be the party which lost the case in trial court, and would be asking the Appeals court to overturn the trial court verdict. A cross-appellant is usually the party which received a verdict partially in their favor at trial, and is counter-appealing some aspect of the trial court's verdict to the Appeals court. A 'defendant-cross-appellant' is means that the party which was the defendant in the trial court, is now the cross-appellant in Appeals court.
Where do you appeal your case after intermediate court?
In the federal court system, the "intermediate" appellate courts are the US Courts of Appeals Circuit Courts. The usual progression through the federal court system is District Court verdict appealed to U.S. Court of Appeals for the [Appropriate] Circuit, which is the appeals court just below the Supreme Court. From there, the party that loses at the Circuit court level may petition the Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari, and will then join a pool of about 10,000 other petitions. Because the volume of requests for review is so high, the Court only grants cert for about 1% of the petitions on their docket (about 75-100 cases per year). The statistical chance of any individual case being heard by the US Supreme Court is very low.
How do appeals come about?
Appeals come about when one of the two parties in a legal case is unhappy with a judge's (or jury's) final decision. There are rules as to how many days a party has to file an appeal after the final decision. The appeal is usually filed with the next highest court. That court reviews the first court's decision.
What court can hear appeals of US Supreme Court decisions?
According to Article 3 of the U.S. Constitution, no other court has appeal authority over the Supreme Court. "In all other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact..." The Congress, if it doesn't like a ruling, can try and pass legislation (laws) that will have the affect of overruling a Supreme Court decision, but it takes a long time (usually) and is not always successful. The Supreme Court could still declare the new law unconstitutional.
What is an appealer?
In its broadest sense an "appeal" is a formal request that a "higher" body -- typically a higher court -- review the action, procedure, or decision of a lower court, administrative agency, or other body. Please note that we (and the media) will be using the term "appeals" colloquially to include several proceedings such as a "Petition for Certiorari" that have other formal legal names. An appeal normally may be taken by the party who loses or did not get all the relief he, she or it sought. If both parties are dissatisfied, each may appeal part of the decision.
