Seeking a higher court's review of a lower court's decision for correction or changing the decision is called a(n):

  1. Record on appeal

  2. Appellant

  3. Appeal

  4. Appellee

The correct answer is: Appeal

An appellant is a person who makes an appeal to a higher court, not the action itself. A record on appeal is the compilation of documents and transcripts from the lower court that will be reviewed by the higher court. An appellee is the party against whom an appeal is filed, not the actual appellate process. Therefore, the correct term for seeking a higher court's review of a lower court's decision is an appeal.
