Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A reversal occurs when an appellate court disagrees with a lower court's decision and reverses, or voids, that decision. This means that the lower court's decision is no longer valid and the case must be reconsidered or retried. A remand, on the other hand, is when an appellate court sends a case back to the lower court for further action, such as with instructions to correct an error or conduct additional proceedings. An affirmation is when an appellate court agrees with the lower court's decision and upholds it. Nolle pros is a legal term meaning "do not prosecute" and is not relevant to appellate court decisions.
