What is the standard of review of a judgment or order of a lower court?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Josefson v. Huebner (In re Josefson), H039618 (Cal. App. 2016):
In conducting our appellate review, we presume that a judgment or order of a lower court is correct. The general rule is that " '[a]ll intendments and presumptions are indulged to support [the judgment] on matters as to which the record is silent, and error must be affirmatively shown.' " (Denham v. Superior Court (1970) 2 Cal.3d 557, 564; In re Marriage of Arceneaux (1990) 51 Cal.3d 1130, 1133.)
