Usage Note

Riesame denotes a formal second examination or review — in law, tribunale del riesame is the court that reviews pre-trial detention orders in Italy, a specific institution known to every Italian law student. More broadly it means any re-examination of a decision or document. Do not confuse with ricorso (appeal) — riesame is typically an administrative re-evaluation, while ricorso is a formal legal appeal.
