Trial courts typically do not have appellate jurisdiction; their primary function is to hear cases for the first time and make determinations of fact and law. Instead, appellate jurisdiction is held by higher courts that review the decisions made by trial courts. Examples of courts with appellate jurisdiction include state appellate courts and federal courts of appeals. In contrast, trial courts, such as district or circuit courts, focus on original jurisdiction.
