| | Appellate jurisdiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Appellate jurisdiction is addressed in reference to the Supreme Court in Article III, Section 2 of the United States Constitution. | | | Depending on the court and the type of case, appellate review may consist of an entirely new hearing on the matter (a trial de novo), or may be limited to a review of particular legal rulings made by the inferior tribunal (an appeal on the record). | | | Appellate jurisdiction refers to the power of a court to review and potentially modify the decisions made by another court or tribunal. |

| | LII: Law about...Appellate Procedure |
| | Appellate procedure consists of the rules and practices by which appellate courts review trial court judgments. | | | Appellate review performs several functions, including: the correction of errors committed by the trial court, development of the law, achieving a uniform approach across courts, and the pursuit of justice, more generally. | | | State appellate courts are governed by their own state rules of appellate procedure. |

| | Appellate Review of Courts-Martial |
| | The Supreme Court of the United States has discretion under 28 U.S.C. § 1259 to review cases under the UCMJ on direct appeal where the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces has conducted a mandatory review (death penalty and certified cases), granted discretionary review of a petition, or otherwise granted relief. | | | The Courts of Criminal Appeals review the cases for legal error, factual sufficiency, and sentence appropriateness. | | | If the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces has denied a petition for review or a writ appeal, consideration by the Supreme Court may be obtained only through collateral review (e.g., a writ of habeas corpus). |

| | Appellate Sentence Review |
| | Alaska's appellate court was not alone in its reluctance to review criminal sentences. | | | The supreme court retained discretionary jurisdiction to review final decisions of the court of appeals. | | | State, Justice Rabinowitz concluded that the supreme court had jurisdiction to review criminal sentences, while Chief Justice Nesbett and Justice Dimond, distinguishing their earlier holding in Pete, concluded that the court did not have jurisdiction to review a criminal sentence for an abuse of discretion. |

| | [No title] |
| | In a combined appeal, upon final adjudication of all issues within the jurisdiction of the court of appeals, the court of appeals shall refer the case to the supreme court for discretionary review of any remaining sentence issues which are reviewable by the supreme court under subparagraph (a)(2) of this rule. | | | A defendant may seek discretionary review of an unsuspended sentence of imprisonment which is not appealable under subparagraph (a)(1) by filing a petition for review in the supreme court under Appellate Rule 402. | | | Appellate Rule 215(d) also applies, except, if the defendant is proceeding under subparagraph (h)(1) of this rule, the notice of intent to terminate must be filed within 30 days after filing of the notice of intent to file a petition for sentence review. |

| | Standard of Appellate Review |
| | Appellate courts do not retry cases; they review what the trial court did. | | | On some issues, the appellate courts are very deferential to the trial court; on other issues, the appellate court exercises its own independent judgment without giving any weight to the trial court's decision. | | | The relevant standard of review determines how deferential the appellate court is for a particular issue. |

| | Indeed, it could be argued that more searching review is justified (in reviewing cases from state courts), since state procedure may not be as good as federal procedure, and state courts may not be as concerned as federal courts with protecting federal rights. | | | Federal courts of appeals have enforced the Sullivan protections through the practice of independent appellate review, a doctrine that requires appellate review of the trial court proceedings to determine whether the facts found by the court satisfy the requirement of actual malice. | | | Without the use of independent appellate review by federal courts of appeals and the resulting extraordinary reversal rate of trial court libel judgments, [fn108] the current atmosphere conducive to vigorous debate would not exist. |

| | Freedom of Speech and Appellate and Summary Judgment Review in Copyright Cases |
| | One such safeguard is independent judicial review, by appellate courts after trial, by the trial court after trial, and by the trial court on summary judgment. | | | The Court likewise applies independent review in obscenity and fighting words cases, 75 even though the risk of error or chill in such a case is typically borne by nonpolitical speech; 76 the same is true for commercial speech cases. | | | Independent review does impose a burden, both on litigants and the appellate system: It will require appellate courts to spend more time on each appeal, 170 and it may encourage litigants to appeal, 171 thus delaying the final decision and consuming more court time and litigant money. |

| | Waiver or Withdrawal of Appellate Review |
| | For example, the accused and his or her counsel must decide whether to petition the COMA for review of the case, whether to petition for review by JAG, or whether to petition for a new trial. | | | Figure 8-18 is the form to be used when an accused wishes to waive or withdraw his or her right to appellate review in a GCM or an SPCM subject to review by a Court of Military Review. | | | In either case, however, once appellate review is waived or withdrawn, it is irrevocable and the case will thereafter be reviewed locally in the same manner as an SCM or an SPCM not involving a BCD. |

| | Duane Morris - Appellate Practice; Review of Conflicting Evidence |
| | CPLR º[4213[b] requires the court in a nonjury case to include in its decision a statement of "the facts it deems essential." This statutory requirement recognizes that any meaningful, intelligent appellate review "is impossible if the appellate court cannot ascertain on what facts and conclusions of law the lower court rested its decision. | | | In Article 78 proceedings, judicial review of the determination of an administrative agency or tribunal on a question of fact is limited to seeing whether there is "substantial evidence" in the record that supports the decision. | | | When a judgment in a civil action is sought to be overturned on appeal as against the weight of the credible evidence the appellate division's scope of review differs depending on whether the case was tried with or without a jury. |
