"court of final appeal" is a generic term that refers to the highest court whcih has jurisdiction of a particular matter. In criminal law and some civil law, this could be the US Supreme Court, or a State Supreme Court depending on the matter at hand. In most persoanl Civil cases this could be a state Superior Court, or a State Court. I am in Georgia, and for instance a small claims civil suit (under 14,000.00) may be filed in Magistrate Court, and is not appealable. Therefore it is the Court of Final Appeal in regard to a civil small claims case. The specific definition depends on the context of the term.
