Presentation transcript:

Appellate Courts: Let’s Take it Up

1. The Court of Appeals does not hold a trial all over again because trials are for finding out what happened, and the Court of Appeals decides whether the lower court judge correctly applied the law.

2. The Court of Appeals must accept every case because people have an automatic right of appeal after a decision is made in trial court. This helps ensure that the law is applied correctly.

3. Decisions from the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court are precedent for new cases because precedent cases help people know what to expect. Otherwise, judges could make wildly different decisions in very similar cases.

4. Cases in the appellate courts are head by more than one judge because appellate court decisions area precedent for many people, so it’s important to have more than one judge think about the decisions.

5. Oral argument is an important part of an appeal because it allows the appeals court judges or Supreme Court justices to ask specific questions about the case.

6. The Supreme Court does not have to take every case that comes along because there are too many petitions for one court to hear.

7. Cases decided by the Supreme Court are particularly important because its decisions affect the whole country by setting precedent for similar cases in all the lower courts.

8. If someone wins or loses a Supreme Court case, another person with a similar case will not automatically win or lose because the other person’s case might have special facts that make it different from the Supreme Court case.

9. People do not get to testify at the Supreme Court because testifying is a way of telling what happened, and the Supreme Court does not decide what happened. It only decides whether the Court of Appeals judges made the right decision.
