Appeal (Easton)
DIC dictionary-entry · status:draft · license:PD
A reference of any case from an inferior to a superior court. Moses established in the wilderness a series of judicatories such that appeals could be made from a lower to a higher ( Exodus 18:13-26 .) Under the Roman law the most remarkable case of appeal is that of Paul from the tribunal of Festus at Caesarea to that of the emperor at Rome ( Acts 25:11,12,21,25 ). Paul availed himself of the privilege of a Roman citizen in this matter.
