Best Answer

An appeals lawyer is an attorney or lawyer that represents clients who are appealing a decision made in civil or criminal cases. In appellate law, the case in front of the judge revolves around the prior trial only; the appeal lawyer is arguing whether the previous trial was decided fairly.

In the even that an individualis is sued, appears in court, and loses, an appeals attorney would come in handy. An appeals attorney is an attorney who specializes in overturning judgments, such as monetary claims. Appeals lawyers are also used in the criminal justice system to appeal a conviction or a sentence. The government also uses appeals attorneys to appeal laws which may appear unconstitutional.

How do you say lawyer in french?

The immediate translation would be 'avocat', i.e. a French solicitor or a barrister (UK). However a French lawyer can also be a "notaire" (notary public) or a "avoué" (French lawyer appearing before the Appeal courts) or a "Huissier de justice" (the equivalent of a bailiff) who enforces judgments. Hence, in France there are different categories of lawyers but there are plans to unify the profession and merge it into one single title: Avocat. French avoués will be something of the past as from 1 January 2012. In summary, you would just say 'avocat' or 'notaire'. These stand for qualified lawyers, i.e. registered solicitors, barristers or attorneys. A non-qualified lawyer is called 'juriste' (the equivalent of a paralegal).

I'm no lawyer. I do, however, know that if you have a grievance against the legal system you (or anybody) can apply to the courts for an appeal. Convicted murders and victims can both appeal to the Courts about their sentences. He and you can appeal for many years.
