An appeal is not just about whether the lower court was wrong.
It is also about how the higher court is allowed to review that decision.
The standard of review determines how closely an appellate court examines a lower court’s decision.
Different issues can receive different levels of deference, which is why identifying the applicable standard is a critical part of appellate analysis.
