The Supreme Court can overturn a district court ruling
The U.S. Courts of Appeals can reverse decisions made by U.S. District Courts, serving as an important part of the federal judicial system. If a ruling is further contested, the U.S. Supreme Court can also review and potentially alter those decisions. This appellate structure allows for legal errors to be corrected and ensures justice is upheld.
