Explain the appellate system.

An appellate court, commonly called an appeals court or court of appeals (American English)[1] or appeal court(British English), is any court of law that is empowered to hear an appeal of a trial court or other lower tribunal. In mostjurisdictions, the court system is divided into at least three levels: the trial court, which initially hears cases and reviews evidence and testimony to determine the facts of the case; at least one intermediate appellate court; and a supreme court (or court of last resort) which primarily reviews the decisions of the intermediate courts. A jurisdiction's supreme court is that jurisdiction's highest appellate court.[2] Appellate courts nationwide can operate by varying rules.

The authority of appellate courts to review decisions of lower courts varies widely from one jurisdiction to another. In some places, the appellate court has limited powers of review.

 The appellate system reviews decisions made by the trial court. For example, suppose a trial court grants a motion to allow certain evidence at trial. The person who did not want the evidence to come in can file an appeal with the appellate courts asking them to determine whether the trial judge should or should not have allowed the evidence in question.
