Litigation and appeals represent the fundamental pillars of our legal system, offering a robust mechanism for resolving disputes and ensuring justice is served. Litigation involves the process of bringing disputes to court, where opposing parties present their arguments and evidence before a judge or jury. Appeals, on the other hand, provide a critical avenue for challenging the outcomes of those legal battles, aiming to rectify errors in judgment or misapplications of the law. These two intertwined components of the legal process are the cornerstones of civil society, allowing individuals, organizations, and government entities to seek resolution and uphold their rights within a structured and impartial framework.
