Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An appellate court uses a panel of judges to review the records of a case and determine whether the lower court made any errors of law or procedure. It does not conduct another trial or rely on a jury to hear a new case. It assesses questions of law, not fact, associated with the case. It also does not present the records of a case to the local government.
