What are the differences between a trail court and an appeals court

2 Answers

Trial courts are the courts where cases start. In the trial court, both sides present evidence to show their version of what happened. The appellate court overrules a trial court decision only if a very important legal error was made in the trial court. In some cases, the appellate court judges might believe that the outcome of the trial court should have been different, but if no legal errors were made, they will not overrule the lower court.

The last major difference between the trial courts and the appellate courts is the role of the jury. A jury is a group of citizens who listen to the facts and make decisions about the case. A jury is sometimes used in trial courts to help decide the case. ... Appellate judges determine the outcome of all appeals.
