Sometimes. An appellate court judge or panel can overturn a lower court judge's (or jury's) decision if there are legal grounds for doing so; they can also affirm, or uphold, the decision.

The lower court cannot overturn the higher court's decision.

Appellate Jurisdiction
That means a case heard in a trial court was appealed to an appellate court; the appellate court agreed with the lower court's decision, and determined the case was conducted properly. When this happens, the appellate court "affirms" the trial court decision, and that decision becomes final unless the case is carried to a higher appellate court that reverses the trial court's decision.

No. State courts do not have jurisdiction over one another. For instance, a Maryland state court's decision is not binding on a Pennsylvania state court and vice versa. Likewise, a Pennsylvania court lacks the jurisdiction to overturn any state case law from Maryland. Federal courts, however, do have the power to overturn state court decisions in many (but not all) instances.
They are in different places on the hierarchy of jurisdiction. Appellate jurisdiction is higher. Courts with appellate jurisdiction can hear appeals, whereas courts with original jurisdiction can hear cases for the first time.
