Explain a trial de novo.

What will be an ideal response?


A trial de novo is not like a standard appeal, where the higher court concerns itself only with a review of any legal errors that may have occurred at trial. Instead, a trial de novo is an entirely new trial. Lower courts are not courts of record, that is, there is no constitutional requirement to provide an official, verbatim recording or transcript of the proceedings. The only official document is the judgment of the court.
