Appellate courts primarily review decisions made by lower courts to ensure the law was applied correctly and that legal procedures were followed. They do not conduct trials or hear new evidence; instead, they rely on the records from the lower courts and the arguments presented by attorneys. Appellate courts often focus on questions of law rather than questions of fact, and their rulings can set important legal precedents. Additionally, they typically consist of a panel of judges, rather than a single judge or jury.
