The US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts hear most of the appeals from "lower courts" in the federal court system. The US Supreme Court has the highest federal appellate jurisdiction, and typically hears appeals from the Circuit Courts, although it sometimes hears cases on direct appeal from the US District Courts. Both of these would be considered "lower courts."

The trial phase ends at the US District Court level (or equivalent state trial court). Appeals to the federal US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts (or intermediate state appellate courts) are based on questions of process, law or constitutionality. The case is not retried; appellate courts do not render decisions about the defendants' guilt or innocence.After the intermediate appellate courts, federal cases may be petitioned to the US Supreme Court; state cases may be appealed to the state supreme court (or equivalent). If a state case involves a preserved federal question (matter or federal or constitutional law) it may be appealed to the US Supreme Court after the state supreme court hears or denies hearing on the case.Both the US Supreme Court and state supreme courts (or equivalent) have discretion over which cases they hear (although state supreme courts may have mandatory jurisdiction over certain cases, such as death penalty cases).
