Definition
A legal ruling in which a higher court agrees with and upholds the decision of a lower court.
Etymology
From Old French affirmance, derived from affirmer (Latin affirmare). The term developed specifically in law to describe the judicial action of confirming a previous decision.
Kelly Says
When you lose a case and appeal, you're hoping the higher court won't issue an affirmance—it's the legal opposite of 'you were right to complain,' it's 'we agree with the lower court anyway.'
