Which court would hear appeals from inferior courts?

• A. The Supreme Court
• B. The County Court
• C. The Municipal Court
• D. The district court

Answer: (D)

Appellate review follows a hierarchical structure: lower or inferior courts decide cases first, and their rulings can be reviewed by the next higher court with appellate authority. In Wyoming, that next higher court for decisions from municipalities and counties is the district court, which acts as the appellate court for those inferior courts. After that, further review goes to the Wyoming Supreme Court, the state's highest court. So the district court is the forum that hears appeals from inferior courts. The Supreme Court handles appeals from district courts, not directly from inferior courts, and municipal and county courts are themselves lower courts rather than appellate bodies for other courts.
