The Supreme Court of the United States
The Supreme Court of Virginia. Appellate courts do not try cases, but review procedure, so no jury is needed.
The Court of Appeals reviews and picks and chooses which cases they will review. In THAT manner, they DO exercise discretion.
Twelve of the thirteen US Court of Appeals Circuit Courtshave appellate jurisdiction over cases heard in the 94 US District Courts. The Circuit Courts review decisions or other facets of cases that have been sent them on appeal.
It really depends what kind of courts you are talking about and where the courts are. If the courts are federal, then a district court is a trial court and a circuit court is an appeals court, which may review a trial decision from a district court. For state courts, the difference between a district court and a circuit court will depend on what state the courts are in. Many states have courts called "district court" and "circuit court," but what kinds of cases these courts handle differs state to state.

In the United States, the court that automatically reviews death penalty cases is typically the state's highest court, which varies by state. For federal death penalty cases, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit may be involved in the review process, along with the U.S. Supreme Court having the authority to review death penalty cases as well. This automatic review ensures that the legal procedures and evidentiary standards were properly followed during the trial.

These court of appeals handle cases that have appealed their case after losing in the district court and go to that court of appeals within the jurisdiction of that federal judicial circuit or in some cases these courts will handle such cases that have been assigned by other federal courts or administrative agencies. Besides the thirteen United States court of appeals there is also Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces which handles court martial cases. Of the U.S. court of appeals there are eleven numbered circuits such as the 6th circuit court of appeals or the 9th circuit court of appeals. The remaining two of those thirteen circuit courts are the Federal Circuit and the D.C. Circuit court of appeals.
Federal cases that arise in Pennsylvania have their appeals heard by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. This circuit includes Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, and the Virgin Islands.
