§ 25-1911.Appellate jurisdiction; scope.

Sections 25-1901 through 25-1908 describe the district court’s power to review decisions of tribunals below it, through the older petition-in-error procedure. Section 25-1911 shifts up a level: it states that a judgment rendered or final order made by the district court itself may be reversed, vacated, or modified for errors appearing on the record. That single sentence is the jurisdictional foundation for the appeal procedure that sections 25-1912 and following set out in detail.

“Errors appearing on the record” ties review to what the written record of the case shows — the pleadings, the evidence as reflected in the transcript or bill of exceptions, and the rulings the trial court made — rather than to matters outside that record. This section does not itself set deadlines, describe how to file, or say who has jurisdiction to hear the appeal; those mechanics come from section 25-1912, which governs the modern notice-of-appeal process to the Court of Appeals or Supreme Court, as distinct from the petition-in-error route used to challenge decisions of inferior tribunals under section 25-1901.
