The term "court-appeals" refers to a specific type of legal system that hears cases that have already been tried in lower courts. Synonyms for this word include "appellate court," "higher court," "court of appeals," and "appeals court." These courts are responsible for reviewing the decisions made by lower courts to ensure that the law was properly interpreted and applied. As such, they play a crucial role in upholding the principles of justice and fairness in the legal system. While there are many different courts with varying jurisdictions, the basic function of the court-appeals remains the same across all countries and legal systems.
