A quick definition of review:

Review is when a higher court looks at a decision made by a lower court to see if it was fair and followed the law. If the higher court thinks the lower court made a mistake, they might change the decision. Different types of cases have different rules for how the higher court should review the lower court's decision. Sometimes the higher court has to make a completely new decision without looking at what the lower court decided. Other times, they have to trust what the lower court decided unless it was really wrong.

A more thorough explanation:

Review is when a higher court looks at a decision made by a lower court to see if there were any mistakes made. If there were mistakes, the higher court can change the decision. If there were no mistakes, the higher court will agree with the decision.

There are different ways that courts review decisions, depending on the type of case and the lower court. For example:

  • When a higher court reviews a decision made by a trial court, they will often look at the case again from the beginning, without relying on what the trial court decided.
  • When a higher court reviews a decision made by an administrative agency, they will often give more deference to the agency's decision, especially when it comes to questions of law.
  • When a lower court has some discretion in making a decision, a higher court will only change the decision if the lower court made a serious mistake, called an "abuse of discretion."

For example, let's say a person is convicted of a crime in a trial court. They appeal the decision to a higher court, arguing that the trial court made a mistake. The higher court will review the decision to see if there were any mistakes made. If they find a mistake, they might change the decision and order a new trial. If they don't find any mistakes, they will agree with the trial court's decision.

Feeling like sad drinking tonight, wife accidentally tossed out my truck keys and those are expensive as fuck to replace. The crappiest part is that the key chain had the "remove before flight" tab from my first aircraft's rocket pods overseas from 6 years ago. Then find out people fucked around and back dated reports at work making me look like a shit bag so I am working later tonight and missing range time which is my weekly relax/me time. Add in my sleep meds stopped working, so I am thinking vodka (so I stay skinny and hot) and pizza by the fireplace kind of friday.

babycat
14:57

babycat
14:59

babycat
14:59
it
babycat
15:00
but I don’t use dating apps so all my first dates are with people I’ve already met in some context, which it sounds like is your situation too
Dkk
15:00
I could never imagine myself doing that on a first date.
Dkk
15:01
@BulbasaurNoLikeCardio: hope things get better
babycat
15:01
@Dkk: what if it’s someone you’ve known for a long time but never dated?
Dkk
15:03
Maybe but things would have to go like perfectly. I could not imagine them going perfectly.
15:04
Sleeping on the first date just isn't my style, idk. I take things painfully slowly and much prefer to befriend and really get to know a girl first before doing any of that
Ok another question, what do u tell the ppl u sleeping with already that ur going on dates
Dkk
15:05
The bigger issue is if I sleep with them will I have the emotional connection to finish cus it is harder for me to finish if I do not know the person.

@Rightfullytherlauren: If the person is clean or has a good vibe I will do it the first date
15:06
Yeah sorry I can't answer that Lauren, I don't sleep with anyone if I'm not already dating them
Dkk

@Rightfullytherlauren: This is like a stupid thing that only really hot guys and women have to think about. I have never had to think about this before. No answer.

@bigroger100: No idea. Probably when they released last year unless they were supposed to release already.

@Rightfullytherlauren: I am apparently a hot guy or just a slut cause I have had this before. If it is a FWB then you gotta follow the rules on that like wrapping your tool and such but if it is a casual fuck/bootie call they do not need to know if you are trying to find love and what you are doing when you are busy
