What is the role of appellate courts?

To conduct trials by jury
To review decisions of lower courts or administrative agencies
To have trials with a panel of 12 judges
To establish the Supreme Court's power of Judicial Review

The correct answer is: To review decisions of lower courts or administrative agencies

Appellate courts do not conduct trials by jury (choice A) because their main function is to review decisions made by lower courts or administrative agencies. They do not have original jurisdiction to hold trials. Having trials with a panel of 12 judges (choice C) is not the role of appellate courts. This is typically seen in trial courts or the district court level. While the Supreme Court does have the power of Judicial Review (choice D), this is not the primary role of appellate courts. Appellate courts primarily review the decisions of lower courts or administrative agencies to ensure they were made correctly and fairly according to the law.
