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.
