Can appellate courts take new cases that have never been tried before?
No, an appellate court may not hear new evidence. The power of the appellate court is strictly to review the record of the trial court to determine whether any errors that would affect the outcome of the case were committed. If the appellate court felt that there was insufficient evidence to support the trial court judgement, it will reverse the judgment rather than call for new evidence. If the appellate court feels that evidence was improperly excluded from the trial, it could reverse the trial court decision and remand it for a retrial with a direction that the new evidence be admitted on rehearing. IN either event the appellate will not act as a trial court and hear new evidence.
What is a remanded federal court case?

For example, if an appellate court vacates a conviction, it may remand the case to the trial court for a new trial.
