"Justice Has Prevailed!" joke

After years of assisting more senior attorneys at trial, a young lawyer was finally allowed to try a case on her own. Determined not to lose, she prepared furiously.
The trial went on for eight exhausting days. Finally, the case went to the jury, which quickly returned with a verdict in favor of her client.
Ecstatic, the attorney phoned the firm's managing partner, and the moment he was on the line announced, "It's me! The jury just came back, and justice has prevailed!"
The managing partner gasped, stammering, "Appeal at once."

Cameron:I have read this joke over and over again, but simply do not get it. Why does the managing partner say "Appeal at once." I'm guessing he is not happy with the decision, but why? I really must be missing something.
