Definition
A bill of review is a legal procedure used to ask a court to reconsider a previous decision. It's not a new trial, but a way to correct errors or introduce new evidence that wasn't available before. Think of it as an 'undo' button for a court case, but it's only available in specific circumstances. It's different from an appeal, which usually challenges legal errors in the original trial. A bill of review focuses on new facts or mistakes that could change the outcome. It's a second chance, but with strict rules.
