appeal processes
Challenging official decisions
Appeal processes are the formal procedures for requesting review of a decision by a higher authority.
Courts have appeal processes for challenging verdicts; organizations have them for contesting disciplinary actions, denials of benefits, or adverse rulings.
The term emphasizes the structured, multi-step nature of such reviews: The university's appeal processes allow students to challenge grades through department chairs, then deans.
