Petition for review

The E. Barrett Prettyman United States Courthouse is the home of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, which decides a large number of petitions for review of actions taken by federal agencies.

In some jurisdictions, a petition for review is a formal request for an appellate tribunal to review the decision of a lower court or administrative body.[1] If a jurisdiction utilizes petitions for review, then parties seeking appellate review of their case may submit a formal petition for review to an appropriate court.[2] In United States federal courts, the term "petition for review" is also used to describe petitions that seek review of federal agency actions.[3]
