Courts with appellate jurisdiction only hear cases that have been brought to them on appeal from a lower court. This means that the case has already gone through one trial before and because the people involved were unhappy with the decision, they took it to another court to see if another judge thinks differently.

∙ 15y agoAppellate jurisdiction is a limitation of a court's authority to hear and decide legal cases only if they have been first heard by a trial court. If one or more of the parties to that case feel the trial court made legal errors during the trial, that party makes an appeal asking for a ruling on whether a particular trial court action was correct or not. A court having only appellate jurisdiction may not conduct trials nor may it simply retry the case. It simply makes a determination as to the correctness of the trial court's actions.
