It means the US Supreme Court disagreed with the decision of the state supreme court on that particular case, and sent the case back to the state court with specific instructions on what action needed to be taken to correct the problem.
Not true. The Supreme Court has reversed many of its earlier decisions.
No, there are only 2 ways a decision may be reversed. Either the court hears a similar case and reverses itself or there is a constitutional amendment. Brown v Board is an example of the former, the 13th and 14th Amendment is an example of the latter.
Yes, they can.However, if the decision involves a question of federal or constitutional law and the case is petitioned to the US Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari, and if the U.S. Supreme Court grants certiorari, and if the U.S. Supreme Court rules differently from the state supreme court, the state is bound by the U.S. Supreme Court decision under the doctrine of Stare decisis, which is abbreviated from a Latin phrase that means "let the decision stand."
The twenty first amendment reversed the 18 amendment
The US Supreme Court's first important decision, Chisholm v. Georgia, 2 US 419 (1793), was overturned by the Eleventh Amendment. In Chisholm, the Court ruled states lacked sovereign immunity from being sued for war reparations, which had the potential to cause economic disaster following the Revolutionary War.
When a case is reversed and remanded by the Supreme Court, it means that the decision made by the lower court is overturned, and the case is sent back to the lower court for further proceedings or a new trial.
No. Reversed means the verdict is "un-done". Remanded means it is sent back down to the lower court for a new decision.
Affirmed - Reversed - Remanded
"Affirmed," meaning that the appellate court agreed with the ruling of the lower court; "reversed" (or "overturned") meaning that the appellate court did not agree with the ruling of the lower court; and "remanded for further proceedings" meaning that the case could not be resolved or fully resolved on appeal and requires further hearings or argument in the lower court.Affirmed - Reversed - Remanded
"Reversed" in a court decision means that a higher court has overturned the decision of a lower court. "Remanded" means that the higher court sends the case back to the lower court for further action or reconsideration. These terms are used to indicate the outcome of an appeal or review of a legal case.
The case is re-tried, or perhaps (at the option of the prosecution) the charges may be dropped or reduced.
This wording sounds like part of an appeals court decision. 'Affimed in part' - mean that the original decision/findings were found to be proper and correct. 'Reversed in part' - means that a portion of the decision/findings was found to legally insufficient. 'Remanded' - means that the case was returned to the originating court to review or reconsider its actions in the case and make it 'legally sufficient' to conform with the law.
It means the appelate court has reversed the trial courts finding (reversed) - and ordered the case returned to the lower court (remanded) - and has released (relinquished) its (the Appeals Courts) interest in the case back to the trial court.
reversed and remanded
It looks like the decision of an appeal court. It's too bad that the question is not posed clearly. An appeal court reverses a decision when it changes the decision that is being appealed from. An appeal court affirms a decision when it decides not to change it. A matter before the courts is "remanded" when it is put over to another day. The word "remanded" is particularly used in criminal matters especially where the accused person is in custody. My guess is that the story goes something like this: A person has been convicted of a crime and sentenced to a term in jail. While he is serving his sentence, his lawyer has launched an appeal both against the conviction and against the sentence, stating that the jail term was too long. The appeal court has rejected the appeal against conviction but has accepted the appeal against sentence. The sentence "is reversed" and the prisoner remanded in custody until the lower court can impose a more appropriate sentence, "resentencing". However, the conviction stands; it is "otherwise affirmed".
Have your attorney appeal the case to the next higher level of jurisdiction. If the original decision was in violation of law or ethics - AND - this can be shown. It may be reversed or remanded by the higher court.
Appeal it to the next highest level court - County Court - Circuit Court - District Court - whatever.
