Depends. If it's a criminal case, and the losing side is the prosecution, the accused person goes free and cannot ever be tried for that offense again (double-jeopardy). If the accused is found guilty, he/she can appeal but only for certain reasons. In a civil lawsuit, either party can appeal the decision to a higher court. Eventually, however, the higher courts have the authority to decide which cases they will hear. So if you have a person who appeals a decision several times and the higher court says they will not hear his/her case, the decision of the last court that ruled on that case is final.

Anyone who receives an adverse judgment may appeal.
Not just the ultimately losing side, though the appeal is usually limited to decisions which are considered 'final judgments'.

Depends on where they lose at... if the lose in the Supreme Court then that is it.. it is over. Otherwise they can keep attempting appeal filings.

File a motion for reconsideration. File a motion for new trial. File for an appeal.
