It reviews the judgments of a ''tribunal judiciaire''. When one of the parties is not satisfied with the trial court's judgment, the party can file an appeal. While decisions of a court of first instance are termed "jugements" in French, a court of appeal hands down an ''arrêt'' (decision on appeal), which may either affirm or reverse the judgment of the court below. An ''arrêt'' (judgment) of the court of appeal may be further appealed ''en cassation''. If the appeal is admissible at the ''cour de cassation'', that court does not re-judge the facts of the matter a third time, but may investigate and verify whether the rules of law were properly applied by the lower courts. French territories currently contain 36 courts of appeal, six of which are overseas, and a ''tribunal supérieur d'appel'' ...

Tribunal D'instance
In France prior to 2020, the ''Tribunal d'instance'' (literally "Court of First Instance") was a judicial lower court of record of first instance for general civil suits and included a criminal division, the Police Court (''tribunal de police''), which heard cases of misdemeanors or summary offences (''contraventions''). Since it had original jurisdiction, the Court's rulings could be appealed to a French appellate court or Supreme Court. Prior to 1958, the court was known as a Justice of the Peace Court (''justice de paix'') until the judicial restructuring of 1958. In the Court, proceedings were conducted based on oral testimony and arguments, and, unlike in higher courts, legal counsel is not mandatory.
