Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Appeals are generally limited to reviewing the trial court's application of the law and the evidence already presented at trial. New evidence or testimony is typically not allowed on appeal, as the appeal process is not a venue for re-trying the case but rather for examining legal errors that may have occurred during the trial.
