Who appeals a case?

A case is typically appealed by the party that lost in the lower court, known as the appellant. This party seeks to have a higher court review and overturn or modify the decision made by the lower court. The appellant must demonstrate that there were legal errors or procedural issues that affected the outcome of the case. The opposing party in the original case is referred to as the appellee and defends the lower court's decision during the appeal.


Which party files in order to get a case before the US Supreme Court?

Typically, whoever lost the last appeal petitions the Supreme Court to hear the case; however, either party may file.If the Court grants certiorari (agrees to hear the case), the appellant (party appealing the case) has an advantage when filing briefs and during oral arguments because they get to go first and rebut (answer) the opposing party's argument after the other party has spoken. If a case is clearly headed to the Supreme Court on appeal, both parties attempt to gain an edge by preempting the other.


If your case is heard in the Supreme Court how did you do in the lower court?

If you appeal the case to the Supreme Court, you lost in a lower court.Answer:That depends on whether you're the party appealing the decision (the Appellee or Petitioner) or the opposing party (the Appellant or Respondent). If you're petitioning the Court for a writ of certiorari, you're asking the court to review the case because you lost.If someone else is petitioning a case in which you were the opposing party, it means you won and your opponent is contesting the verdict.Every case has a winner and a loser. You didn't specify which side you were on, hypothetically.
