Premier Appellate Lawyers: your portal to the nation’s leading appellate attorneys and practice area news
The authority of appellate courts to review the decisions of lower courts varies widely from one jurisdiction to another. In some areas, the appellate court has limited powers of review. Generally, an appellate court’s judgment provides the final directive of the appeals courts as to the matter appealed, setting out with specificity the court’s determination that the action appealed from should be affirmed, reversed, remanded or modified.
Each year Premier Appellate Lawyers (PAL) researches and recommends leading appellate lawyers across the United States. PAL lists only one attorney and firm in each city and inclusion to the guide is by invitation only.
