12. Appellate Courts vs. Trial Courts
• Appellate courts do not hear new cases,
just cases on appeal from federal trial
courts.
• Appeals are based on legal issues rather
than questions of factual material.
• Do not accept new evidence or hear
additional witnesses.
• Restrict their review to points of law
under dispute.
