Which of the following courts does NOT have appellate jurisdiction?
O U.S. District Courts
O U.S. Courts of Appeals
State Supreme Courts
O U.S. Supreme Court

Respuesta :

Answer:

Original jurisdiction refers to where a case originates. Appellate jurisdiction means that the court reviews decisions from other courts. So if you are prosecuted for a crime, the court where the trial would be held has original jurisdiction. A court that reviews decisions of trial courts would have appellate jurisdiction. The U.S. Supreme Court is generally a court of appellate jurisdiction but it does have original jurisdiction for cases between states. I believe Tennessee and Arkansas had a dispute regarding an island in the Mississippi River (I may be wrong about the states but I do remember that two states were having a dispute about land in a river.) So the Supreme Court would have appellate jurisdiction when they review a ruling from a court below but if Tennessee sues Arkansas (or vice versa), the Supreme Court would have original jurisdiction over that dispute.

Explanation:

The  U.S. Supreme Court  does not have appellate jurisdiction, as U.S. District Courts, U.S. Courts of Appeals, and State Supreme Courts having an  appellate jurisdiction. Option D is correct.

What is the significance of appellate jurisdiction?

The appellate courts don't make or holdup new trials or consider fresh evidence. They are not exposed to witness testimony.

To ensure that the proceedings were fair, and the suitable law was applied correctly, appellate courts study the procedures and rulings made by the trial court, and that scrutiny is done by U.S. District Courts, U.S. Courts of Appeals, and State Supreme Courts.

Therefore, option D is correct.
