The Maryland Court of Special Appeals primarily hears appeals from certain lower courts, including circuit courts and some administrative agencies. It reviews cases involving civil disputes, criminal matters, family law, and other legal issues where there are claims of errors in the application of law or procedure. However, it does not hear cases involving the death penalty or certain other specific matters that go directly to the Maryland Court of Appeals. The court aims to provide an appellate review to ensure fairness and legal correctness in the lower court's decisions.
US Special Courts or courts of special jurisdiction hear a variety of cases, each related to a particular subject matter. For example, US Bankruptcy Courts hear bankruptcy cases; US Tax Court hears federal tax cases; the US Court of Federal Claims hears cases involving monetary damages against the US government; the US Court of Appeals for Veteran's Claims hears appeals of decisions made by the Board of Veteran's Appeals, and so on. Military courts are also considered special courts.

A court of appeals has the jurisdiction to hear appeals. Some appeals are mandatory and the court has to hear them. Other appeals are discretionary and the court of appeals may deny to hear them.
Twelve of the thirteen US Courts of Appeal Circuit Courts have territorial jurisdiction over appeals of general criminal and civil cases original tried in US District Courts. The US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has nationwide subject matter jurisdiction over cases originally heard in special courts, such as the US Court of Federal Claims, the US Court of International Trade, the Court of Veterans' Claims, and cases involving patent disputes, decisions made by government boards and departments, and other entities.
No. Appellate courts have broad discretion to decline to hear cases in which the lower court's decision was obviously correct.
It's part of the process. I don't think a case can bypass the appeals level on its way to the supreme court.
