NALA Certified Paralegal Practice Exam

Question: 1 / 400

If an appellate court's decision is contrary to that of the trial court's, the trial court's judgement has been:

Reversed

When a trial court makes a decision, it is considered the final judgment of the case. If the case is then taken to an appellate court and its decision goes against that of the trial court, this means that the trial court's judgment has been reversed. This means that the appellate court has found an error in the decision of the trial court and has changed the outcome of the case. This is different from remanding a case, which means sending it back to the trial court for further proceedings, or affirming the decision of the trial court, which means agreeing with their judgment. Overruling a decision means to declare it invalid or no longer binding. Therefore, the only correct option in this scenario is A Reversed.
