用法模式：
appellate [noun]
常见错误：
Learners sometimes confuse 'appellate', 'appeal', 'appealing', and 'appellant'. 'Appeal' is usually the noun or verb for asking a higher court to change a decision ('to file an appeal'). 'Appellate' is an adjective used before nouns ('appellate court', 'appellate judge'). 'Appealing' usually means 'attractive' in everyday English, and 'appellant' is the person who files the appeal.
近义词
appeals (Used before nouns in the same way (e.g. 'appeals court'); slightly more common in everyday news language than 'appellate' itself.)
|
reviewing (Stresses the act of checking decisions; less specifically legal than 'appellate'.)
反义词
trial (As in 'trial court'; refers to the first court that hears a case, the opposite level from the appellate stage.)
