Appellate Court Judges are legal professionals who review decisions made by lower courts, such as trial courts. Their primary role is to determine whether the law was applied correctly and if the legal procedures were followed. They do not conduct new trials or hear new evidence; instead, they analyze written records and listen to oral arguments from attorneys. These judges serve on appellate courts, which are part of the judicial system in many countries, including the United States. Appellate courts can be organized at various levels, such as state or federal, and their decisions can significantly impact the interpretation of laws and legal precedents.
