Question 3 • Fall 24 American Government/Civics IC

A losing party in a federal trial court can

Answer
A
appeal to one of 94 lower courts.
B
appeal to a higher federal court.
C
ask for a retrial in the same court.
D
ask for a different judge in the same court.

Explanation

A losing party in a federal trial court can appeal the decision to a higher federal court, usually a federal court of appeals. The 94 lower courts are federal district courts, not places to appeal to, and a retrial or a different judge is not automatically available just because a party lost.
