What do appellate judges look for when they review a case?
Generally Appellate Judges are not looking for anything when they review a case. An appeal lawyer has presented his reasons why the appellate court should grant relief for his client. He lists the reasons on his brief. It refers to specific lines on transcript and to relevant case law. The judges read his brief. The opponent's attorney (prosecutor if criminal or plaintiff if civil) may enter his brief and explains why the other lawyer is wrong. The Appellate Judges examine the arguments and make their decision. (A lot of the work is done by law clerks just out of law school. They check the legal references in the law library or on line. Then they bring the relevant ones to the judges with their suggested decisions. The Judges read the clerks conclusions but make their own decisions.
