An Appeal
Yes. Even if the Appelate Court agrees to review your case, it is no guarantee that their review will result in any change to the outcome of your case
The Court of Appeals.
The Court of Appeals.
The general term is appeal. If the appeal is directed to the US Supreme Court, it is more specifically referred to as a "petition for a writ of certiorari."
Yes, you can appeal it to the the US Court of Appeals for that Distict Court circuit. However, they do not automatically review all cases, it must be "accepted" as having some salient reason(s) for review.
You are asking a higher court to review and overrule the finding of a lower court.
The case is tried in a trial court - If the outcome is not satisfactory to one of the parties to the case, it may appealed to the Court of Appeals. The Appeals Court will review the case and IF THEY WISH TO ACCEPT IT for review, they will consider the case and render a decision on the question contained in the appeal. If that appeal is not satisfactory to one of the parties in the case, that ruling may be appealed, yet again, to the Supreme Court. If the Supreme Court chooses to accept the case, they, too, will hear the case and render a decision. The Supreme Court's decision is the final word and there is no higher appeal.
Your next step would be to appeal your case to the Court of Appeals for the particular Disctrict Court in which you were convicted. They will review it and either agree to review it, affirm it (they agree with the trial court), or remand it (send it back to the trial couort) for further action.
