Simple Definition

Term: REVERSE

Definition: When someone disagrees with a decision made by a judge or a court, they can ask for a "reverse". This means they want the decision to be changed. In some cases, people can just say "reverse" without explaining what they want to change. In British English, this is called "allowing the appeal".

Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try.
