All cases which were not subject to the jurisdiction of another court. There were two court systems, the courts of law, and the courts of equity. Equity was descended from church courts and was more concerned with fairness and what was "right". Certain remedies were available only in one or the other. Money damages cases were heard in law courts, while pleas for injunctive relief - a court order to compel the defendant to do something, or stop doing something, were matter for the courts of equity. Today the two are "merged" in our modern judicial system and you can apply for relief which was traditionally "legal" or "equitable" in the sole court system.

What type of cases do appeals courts hear?
Appellate Courts hear appellate cases, or cases that have been appealed to a higher jurisdiction.Appellate cases are appealed because one side of the argument (usually the defense) believes something about their arrest or trial was unconstitutional, illegal, or unfair.Example:If the police were to kick in my door and seize drugs from my house without a warrant, probable cause, or exigent circumstances (or in simple terms, the search and seizure was illegal), and then they arrested me.If for some odd reason I were to be convicted in a trial court, I could appeal my case to the Appellate Courts (or Court of Appeals, in your case) based on the fact that my house was illegally searched, and my drugs were illegally seized (I.E Unconstitutional Search and Seizure: 4th Amendment).The Appellate Court would then look over how the procedures of that case were handled. If the Appellate Court were to agree that this was an illegal search and seizure (which they would), my conviction would be reversed.
