Who does Court of Appeals hear?

The Court of Appeals hears appeals from the trial courts. Have you ever seen a court room drama on TV? The lawyers cross examine the witnesses. The other side objects to a line of questioning. The lawyers appeal to the Judge. The judge makes his decision. The judge runs the courtroom. He supervises the lawyers. Down in front a court reporter is recording the trial. She takes down everything that is being said. At the end of the trial, the Judge reads the law and instructs the jury. The Jury deliberates and reaches a verdict. It may be a civil case. It may be a criminal case. What happened if the Judge made a mistake? What happened if the evidence did not fit the case? If the Judge supervises the Lawyers, who supervises the Judge?
