Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If Carol loses her case in a state trial court, she has the option to appeal her case before an appellate court. This would give her a chance to present her case to a higher court and possibly have the decision of the lower court overturned. However, she cannot take her case any higher in the court system than the appellate court unless there is a constitutional issue involved that could be taken to the United States Supreme Court. Small claims court is not an option as it is meant for smaller cases and typically has limited jurisdiction.
