Answer:

A lower court's decision will be reversed only if the lower court judge abused his discretion in reviewing the evidence

Step-by-step explanation:

A judge generally abuses his discretion if he acts unreasonably. If the lower court's case was resolved by a pre-trial motion to dismiss or a motion for summary judgment, the appeals court will review the record de novo.
