Return a case to a lower court?

An appellate court can return a case to a lower court by issuing a remand order. This generally occurs when the appellate court determines that the lower court made errors that require further proceedings or reconsideration. The remand allows the lower court to address the issues identified by the appellate court and potentially correct any errors in the initial decision.


Which supreme court ruling said that slaves were property?

The Supreme Court ruling that stated slaves were property was Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857). The Court held that African Americans, whether free or enslaved, were not U.S. citizens and therefore could not bring a case to federal court. This decision also declared that Congress did not have the power to prohibit slavery in U.S. territories.
