# Can I appeal a Rhode Island Traffic Tribunal decision?

Yes. If a magistrate finds you guilty of a violation at the Rhode Island Traffic Tribunal, you can appeal. The first level of appeal is to the Appeals Panel of the Traffic Tribunal, which reviews the record of your hearing to decide whether the magistrate made a legal error or reached a decision the evidence did not support. If the Appeals Panel rules against you, the case can move on to the state courts for further review. Appeals must be filed within a short deadline after the decision, so acting quickly matters. Because an appeal turns on the record and on legal argument rather than new testimony, the way your original hearing was handled has a large effect on whether an appeal can succeed.
