What happens when a civil case is appealed?

When you appeal, the entire case is reviewed by a higher court. The appeals court will look at the evidence that was presented to the trial court to decide whether some legal error was made.

How does a case come before the Supreme Court?

The most common way for a case to reach the Supreme Court is on appeal from a circuit court. A party seeking to appeal a decision of a circuit court can file a petition to the Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari. Unlike all other federal courts, the Supreme Court has discretion to decide which cases it will hear.
