The distinction is based on the level of court they preside over rather than their authority or importance.

Why dont federal appeals courts have trials?
The role of all appellate courts is to review a trial court's judgment to determine if an error or errors were made that need to be corrected. An appellate court reviews the trial court -- thus, it does not have trials. The closest thing to a "trial" at the appellate level is the oral argument. During oral argument, the lawyer stands in front of the appellate judges to present a summary of his/her appeal, and answers questions for the judges. However, it is always an issue of law, not fact, when dealing with the appellate courts. Issues of fact are for the trial court.

Are there juries in appeals cases?
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.
