Best Answer

Juries are not used in the appellate courts, and the appellate courts are composed solely of judges ("jurists," as they are called, but not jurors). Juries are used in trial courts to decide disputed questions of fact. Disputed questions of fact should all be resolved in the trial court and therefore are ordinarily not the subject of appeals. Appeals are taken to challenge the correctness of a trial court's rulings on the questions of law that were before it, rather than any questions of fact; and the judges in the appellate courts are ruling on whether or not the trial court committed any errors in its rulings on the questions of law that were before it during the trial and in any pre-trial or post-trial motions.
