Source of error
In Mexican appeal proceedings, an "agravio" refers to an alleged "error" of the lower court, i.e., one of the bases for relief on which the appeal is filed.
"Assignment Of Errors
A statement by the appellant of the errors alleged to have been committed in the lower court is an assignment of errors, a type of appellate PLEADING used to point out to the appellate court the grounds for review."
https://law.jrank.org/pages/4375/Appeal-Assignment-Errors.ht...
"A fundamental principle of appellate practice is that a trial court’s error cannot support reversal unless it was prejudicial. When an error results in the admission of evidence, the record will generally show the error’s impact.
...
Jury instructions are such a fertile source of error that they are one of the first places an appellate lawyer looks to for a basis for reversal."
Los Angeles Lawyer’s Survival Guide for New Attorneys 2011, p. 57
"Under Cain, the factors that the court should consider in determining whether error was harmless include (1) source of error; (2) nature of error; (3) whether or to what extent it was emphasized by State; (4) error's probable collateral implications; (5) how much weight juror would probably place on error; and (6) whether declaring error harmless would encourage the State to repeat it with impunity."

The following link to a Mexican legal dictionary contains six definitions of "agravio" in Spanish that all appear to be related to damage, injury, offense, violation of rights, etc. due to a judge's conduct or ruling.
http://diccionariojuridico.mx/definicion/agravio/
"Los agravios son la lesión o perjuicio que recibe una persona en sus derechos o intereses por virtud de una resolución judicial." https://tareasjuridicas.com/2017/06/25/como-se-califican-a-l...
The following link to an article on "The Law Dictionary" website in English discusses the procedure for when a judge is unfair, including filing a grievance:
https://thelawdictionary.org/article/what-can-you-do-if-a-ju...
In a legal context, the three Spanish to English dictionaries I checked (linguee, wordreference, diccionario.reverso.net) give "grievance" or "tort" as the translation of "agravio."
The definition of agravio according to rae.es:
2. m. Perjuicio que se hace a alguien en sus derechos e intereses.
The definition of "grievance" according to Black's Law Dictionary:
"What is GRIEVANCE?
1. In Law, this is (1) a complaint due to injury, injustice, or wrong."

Sandro Tomasi
: Context is an appeal against a lower court's order. Grievance could address administrative matters against a judge, but her rulings/decicions would be appealed as an error: 2. A mistake of law or of fact in a tribunal’s judgment, opinion, or order (BLD).

Robert Carter
: Sandro's right here, Kristina, in US appeals they're referred to not as "grievances" but "errors." Have a look at some US appeals to see how "error" is used in this context (you'll likely not find a list of "grievances" but rather one of "errors").
