precautionary appeal

Read a random definition: public wrong

A quick definition of precautionary appeal:

A precautionary appeal is when a lawyer files an appeal just in case their client might lose the right to appeal later. This is done to protect their client's rights. An appeal is when someone asks a higher court to review a decision made by a lower court. It's like asking a teacher to check their work again to make sure it's correct.

A more thorough explanation:

A precautionary appeal is a type of appeal filed by a lawyer to protect their client's right to appeal in case they lose the case. It is also known as a protective appeal. This type of appeal is filed when there is a possibility that the client might lose their right to appeal if they do not file an appeal immediately.

For example, if a client's motion to intervene has been denied, and the trial court is entering other orders that the client wants to appeal, the lawyer may file a precautionary appeal to protect their client's right to appeal. Another example is when the lawyer has doubts about where to appeal or the length of the appeal period.

Precautionary appeals are important because they ensure that the client's right to appeal is protected, even if the appeal is not necessary in the end. It is better to file a precautionary appeal and withdraw it later than to miss the deadline for filing an appeal and lose the right to appeal altogether.

I imagine if you interned in the white house and your essay was "my dad got me a job in the white house, it was cool" you will lose out to someone who worked in an elementary school in a low income neighborhoood and writes a killer essay about their experience
even though the white house soft is of a higher tier
its what you do with it
