What can you do if you have a dispute with a judge?
You can appeal a judicial decision by following the procedure set forth for that court system (state or federal). Generally, you will need to do some research for your state and for the particular court where your case was heard. There is usually a higher authority to which you can make an appeal. However, there are time constraints so you need to act ASAP.
What do lawyers do when they think a district court judge has made a mistake?
"messes up" is a pretty broad term, but if a defense lawyer doesn't like the result of a case, and has a legitimate reason other than "I don't like the result", they can file an appeal to a higher court. Whether or not that appeal will be heard is up to that court, and there's no guarantee that the decision will change.
What does it mean for a higher court to uphold a lower courts decision?
That means a case heard in a trial court was appealed to an appellate court; the appellate court agreed with the lower court's decision, and determined the case was conducted properly. When this happens, the appellate court "affirms" the trial court decision, and that decision becomes final unless the case is carried to a higher appellate court that reverses the trial court's decision.
To ask for a review in a court of law is a what?
When you ask for a review in a Court of law you are asking for an appeal. That means that a lower Court (or some other established system of determining competing issues such as an arbitrator's decision) has made its decision and you don't agree with it and you ask a higher Court to review what the lower Court did to see if they made any mistakes. Some things can be appealed as a matter of right which means you are automatically allowed to an appeal. Some things can only be appealed with the permission of the Court. Some times neither side is happy with a decision and they both appeal. When an appeal is heard you may be entitled to an outright reversal, a modification, a referral back to the lower Court or a new trial. The appeal court could also affirm the lower Court's decision which means they agree with what the lower court did. Different states have different names for their courts and there are usually at least two levels of appeals. In the United States the top Court is the Supreme Court of the United States which has the final say on all appeals.
How does the cases reach the supreme court?
There are two ways a case can reach the Supreme Court.The first way is by far the most common: A case is first heard by a trial court. If one of the parties doesn't like the outcome, they appeal. The case is then heard by an appeals court, who has the power to overturn the decision of the trial court. The first appeal is a "gimme" - the appeals court hears everyone's appeal. If one of the parties STILL doesn't like the outcome, they can try to appeal again. The Supreme Court, however, does not have to accept every appeal. To appeal to the Supreme Court, you have to write a "petition for certiorari." If they accept your case, we say that the Supreme Court has "granted cert."The second way is very rare: the Constitution gives the supreme court "original" jurisdiction over a narrow class of cases (mostly cases between states or involving ambassadors.) This means that if a case is of that type, the Supreme Court can take it directly, without any trial court. The court almost never accepts a case this way.
How does the procedure for a case heard in an appeals court differ from the procedure in a trial court?
No the procedure for a cease heard in an Appeal's court does not differ much from the procedure in a trial court.

What if a state declares a law unconstitutional and void?
If a state court declares a state law unconstitutional, the state will probably appeal the case to the state supreme court. If a state court declares a federal law unconstitutional, the losing party in the case will appeal the decision in the federal courts. The case could ultimately be heard by the US Supreme Court; however, if a lower court reverses the state court's decision and either the appropriate US Court of Appeals Circuit Court or US Supreme Court decline to consider the case, the decision of the lower federal court would be final. The US Supreme Court is the ultimate arbiter of constitutionality.
Why does the US Supreme Court exercise considerable discretion in deciding which cases to review?
So many cases are appealed to the US Supreme Court that if it had mandatory appellate jurisdiction, its workload would be impossible to manage. In addition, the Supreme Court has the ability to permit lower court decisions to stand without actually hearing them on appeal. It does this by denying the request to be heard when it denies the "writ of certiorari". This has the effect of allowing the lower court opinion to stand unchanged just as if it had heard the appeal and ruled that the lower court decision was correct.
