Previous answer was partially right. The "reverse and remand" or "vacate and remand" are from an appellate court decision based on a previous courts decision. Remand has nothing to do with "remanding" the person into custody, and the judgment of reverse or vacate can apply to either te sentencing / convinction or both, but it is not seperate. ( reverse doesn't just apply to crime and remand apply to sentencing ) When a sentence is vacated, it means the previous courts decision is void. When it is "reversed" it means the previous court was wrong, and the opposite decision should have been affirmed. However, Once a decision is made, the remedy or actions to correct the wrong judgement must also be re-addressed. ( I.E. you get wrongfully convicted of 1st degree murder, but still committed a crime resulting in death) Once the decision that your 1st degree murder charge was erroneous is made, your case (Not your person) is remanded (or sent back) to the previous court, to either retry the case based on the new info from the appellate court, or is remanded to a previous court to correct sentencing based upon the findings of the appellate court. judgement affirmed means that nothing needs to change and no errors were made in the previous courts procedure / decision.
A layman's answer is that it means that the court doing the remanding orders the case go back to a lower court for reconsideration.
When a criminal case is vacated, it means that the charges are thrown out.
Returning a case to a lower court means that the appeals judge has deemed that the case needs to be retried. The case may be said to have been reversed and remanded or just remanded.
The disposition of an appeal is the judge's final ruling in the case, or what he decides to do to it. The three most common dispositions are: Affirmed, in which the judge agrees with the lower court and the original ruling stands, Reversed, in which the judge disagrees with the lower court and invalidates that opinion, and Remanded, in which the judge sends the case down to a lower court for further action. Cases are often both reversed and remanded.
Not really enough information is disclosed in order to answer. However - if the remanded charge was the result of an arrest for a criminal violation, even though the remanded charge MAY not show up, the record of the arrest will.
No. Reversed means the verdict is "un-done". Remanded means it is sent back down to the lower court for a new decision.

It could mean, well, "vacated"... that is, moved out. But if you're talking about it in the sense of "the judgement of the lower court is vacated, and the case is remanded for further proceedings" it means something like "made void" or "cancelled."
vacated and remanded for a new trial
In a divorce case the word vacated can mean either of two things. It can refer to a judge cancelling an order or judgment. It can also mean to move out of a house.
Whether or not it is good to have a case remanded depends on how you have made out so far in the case and whether the reason for remand was favorable to your arguments.
AnswerBasically your verdict is dismissed and if the D.A. feels he still has a strong case he has to refile charges and try you again.AnswerThe decision is vacated and the case remanded to the lower court for a new trial.
when the appelate court has vacated the decision, but lacks sufficient facts to enter a judgment, thus remanding it to the trial court to enter a new judgment In the UK a remand hearing takes place to decide if an individule should be 'remanded' in custody until such time as the prosecution are ready to proceed with the case (remanded in custody means to be held in a prison without a conviction whilst awaiting trial before Magistrates or a Crown Court.)
Not necessarily. Cases remanded back to a lower court are occasionally sent back down simply to be tweaked or have minor procedural errors corrected. If they were any more serious, the Appeals Court would have overturned them and vacated the finding or sentence. OR - if they were in majority agreement with the lower court the finding would have been "affirmed."
Returning a case to a lower court means that the appeals judge has deemed that the case needs to be retried. The case may be said to have been reversed and remanded or just remanded.
It is an order from a court. Specifically, Order to Show Cause regarding Dismissal of the related case being vacated.
When a cases is sent back for further proceedings to the court that originally heard the case, it is actually being remanded. Remanded means that the original court now has control over the case.
taken out, removed
A vacated conviction means the conviction is set aside, in this case by a judge following legal guidelines. A pardon is a conviction set aside by an executive (Governor or President). A conviction can be nullified by executive order or judicial order.
