Reverse and render

Definition

In the context of courts and law, particularly under due process and judicial fairness, to "reverse and render" means that an appellate court not only overturns the decision of a lower court but also issues a final ruling in the case. This action bypasses the need for the case to be returned to the lower court for a new trial.
