A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, “affirm” means to declare a judgment, decision, or ruling to be valid and to uphold it. It is a formal declaration of agreement or confirmation, often used in the context of appellate courts when a lower court’s decision is upheld.
Example: The court of appeals affirmed the lower court’s decision to dismiss the case.
