Describe the options available to circuit court judges once they have heard an appellate case.

Circuit court judges generally have two options when reviewing a decision from the district courts. If they determine that some aspect of the trial was unfair or that procedures or legal precedents were incorrectly applied, the appellate court may send the case back for a retrial in the district courts. If the appellate court finds no mistakes were made by the district court judges, it may uphold the decision of the lower court.
