How do cases move from the district courts to the us court appeals?
A petition to review the District Court case must be filed giving the legal reasoning and justifications for requesting an Appeals Court review. The Appeals Court will take the appeal under advisement and study the request, and the case, and make a determination if they will accept the case for review, or not. If the Appeals Court decides that there are merits to the petition/request then the case will be reviewed completely for legal and judicial correctness and sufficiency.
How would an appeals court respond to a lower courts decision?
Generally speaking, most lower court cases do not reach a court of appeals. One factor is cost. Even if a lawyer is sure a court of appeals will review a case, that may not be a certainty. Then, how the appeals courts will rule is also generally not known. An appeals court may review a lower court's decision and determine that proper, lawful procedures were not taken by the prosecutor and perhaps the lower court case judge made a serious procedural error. The response of the court may be to overturn the case's verdict or confirm the verdict. Also, the appeals court may decide, after a proper review that the case does not meet state standards for a review.

Who makes the decisions for the Court of Appeals?
The decisions for the Court of Appeals are typically made by a panel of judges, usually consisting of three judges assigned to hear each case. These judges review the case record, hear oral arguments, and deliberate before issuing a written opinion. The majority opinion of the panel constitutes the decision, while dissenting opinions may also be issued by judges who disagree with the majority view. Ultimately, the judges' interpretations of law and legal precedents guide the decisions.
Who can review a case tried in a lower court if an appeal has been made?
The answer depends on whether the case was tried in the state or federal court system, but under both systems the case is appeal to an intermediate appellate court. In the federal judiciary, most cases are first appealed to the US Court of Appeals Circuit Court with jurisdiction over the trial court that originally heard the case. Under certain circumstances, a case may be appealed directly from a US District Court (trial court) to the US Supreme Court, but this is rare.

What is the definition of Court of Appeals?
A court of appeals is a court of appellate jurisdiction. This is in contrast to a court of original jurisdiction. If I get in a car wreck and want to sue, I would file my lawsuit in the trial court (whether state or federal), a court of original jurisdiction. Say I lose. I get one appeal as of right to the court of appeals. In most states, that is called the court of appeals or appellate division (or the circuit court of appeals in the federal system) There judges would review my case to be sure the decision at trial was proper. If I lose again, I could petition my State's supreme court (or the US supreme court if I was in federal court) for what is called certiorari (which just means I am asking them to hear my case). The Supreme Court is not required to hear my case, but if they do, that would be the final word on whatever issue I presented to that court in most cases.
