In different jurisdictions, appellate courts are also called appeals courts, courts of appeals, superior courts, or supreme courts. The specific procedures for appealing, including even whether there is a right of appeal from a particular type of decision, can vary greatly from state to state.
What is the difference between trial and appellate courts? In both state and federal courts, there are trial courts, where cases are first heard, and appellate or âhigherâ courts, which review decisions from trial courts. To appeal a case means to petition an appellate court to overturn or modify a decision of the trial or âlowerâ court. (See Appealing a Conviction and Criminal Writs.) In the state systems, the names of criminal courts vary greatly from state to state.
