Trial court is another way of saying the lowest/initial level of courts in Pennsylvania. The parties can then appeal to the next level - the Pennsylvania appellate court. The next level after that - the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. In some cases regarding state law, you can’t appeal above the state Supreme Court. In other cases you can appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court. By saying “trial court” here, Barnes is telling you we haven’t heard the last of it as the case will almost certainly be appealed by the governor/secretary of state.
What does trial court mean? Is that the name of the court or is it like a practice/mock court thing that they did?
