¿Por qué a las sentencias de segunda instancia se las llama sentencia de vista? ¿Por qué el término "de vista"?

Es fácil, se llama sentencia de vista, por que las sentencias de segunda instancia son sentencias de revisión del proceso.
Si es de segunda instancia, tal vez "appellate judgment" sea la solución.
