Do You Need to Hold a Stretch to Get the Benefit? Not necessarily. Stretching a muscle to the full extent of your ability and holding it for 15 to 30 seconds is what's called a static stretch, and there's no harm in stretching that way as long you don't stretch until it hurts.
An appeal is when someone who loses a case in a trial court asks a higher court (the appellate court) to review the trial court's decision. In almost all cases, the appellate court ONLY looks at two things: whether a LEGAL mistake was made in the trial court; AND; whether this mistake changed the final decision (called the judgment) in the case. An appeal is NOT: A new trial with witnesses or a jury;
A court having jurisdiction to review decisions of a trial-level or other lower court. An unsuccessful party in a lawsuit must file an appeal with an appellate court in order to have the decision reviewed. In the United States, appellate courts exist at both the federal and the state levels.
