Typically, the Appellate Court will either uphold a conviction or reverse and remand (meaning the case goes back to the lower court for a new hearing on the merits).

What do Remanded for findings mean?

Appellate and supreme courts do not generally make "findings of fact." That means they don't think about issues of witness credibility, specific damage amounts, what the conditions of a road were at a particular time, etc. Those jobs are reserved for the trial court. An appellate/supreme court will remand for findings when it wants to send the case back to a trial court for the trial court to get more information before reaching its verdict.


What does mandate mean in the Court of Appeals?

In the context of the Court of Appeals, a mandate refers to the official order issued by the appellate court directing a lower court to take specific actions in accordance with the appellate court's decision. This can include instructions to enforce a ruling, conduct a new trial, or implement changes to a legal decision. The mandate signifies the conclusion of the appellate court's review and the commencement of the lower court's compliance with the appellate ruling.

How do you appeal a decision made by the court of appeals for 'reverse and remand'?

If you mean the federal Court of Appeals, you file a petition for Writ of Certiorari with the Clerk of the Supreme Court of the United States of America pursuant to the rules of the Supreme Court. A court of appeals decision to "reverse and remand" is no different than any other ruling that an appellate court may make; therefore it may be appealed immediately. In fact, virtually every case that is reversed is remanded to the lower court for further action consistent with the ruling of the appellate court. The only time a reversed case is not remanded is when the appellate court itself enters judgment for the other party. The fact that a case is remanded to the lower court does not mean that the parties must return to the lower court first. If you mean a state court of appeals, the same thing most likely holds true; however with 50 different states, each allowed to have its own appellate rules of appellate procedure, you should look to that particicular state court's rules of procedure.


What does it mean that courts have original and appellate jurisdiction?
