At the Appellate Court, cases are reviewed to determine whether the law was applied correctly in the lower court's decision. The court examines the record of the trial, considers legal arguments presented by both sides, and may hold oral arguments. Appellate courts do not conduct new trials or hear new evidence; instead, they focus on legal issues and interpretations. Ultimately, they can affirm, reverse, or remand the case for further proceedings.
Not all cases appealed to an appellate court are heard by the appellate court. In such cases the verdict delivered by the lower court of original jurisdiction will stand.
