The purpose of a state appellate court is to make decisions that cannot be changed review decisions made by federal courts in the district make decisions in criminal and civil trials review decisions made in lower courts in the district

Appellate courts, sometimes referred to at the state level as intermediate courts, are responsible for hearing appeals, which are requests to review decisions made by a lower court to decide if those decisions should be changed.

the court ruled that a state law that banned abortions (except to save the life of the mother) was unconstitutional
