Best Answer

The role of all appellate courts is to review a trial court's judgment to determine if an error or errors were made that need to be corrected.

An appellate court reviews the trial court -- thus, it does not have trials.

The closest thing to a "trial" at the appellate level is the oral argument. During oral argument, the lawyer stands in front of the appellate judges to present a summary of his/her appeal, and answers questions for the judges. However, it is always an issue of law, not fact, when dealing with the appellate courts.

Issues of fact are for the trial court.

How is the federal court system organized and how does it operate?

The Constitution established only one federal court in the Judicial Branch, the Supreme Court. It left to Congress' discretion the creation of other federal courts under its authority in Article III (the constitutional courts) and Article I.The three most widely used courts in the federal judiciary are:US District Courts: The US and its territories are divided into 94 federal judicial districts, each with its own district court. These are the courts where cases are tried.US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts: The District Courts are divided among 12 geographical regions, called Circuits. Each circuit has its own Court of Appeals. There is also a thirteenth Circuit, the Federal Circuit which has nationwide jurisdiction over special subject matter, such as cases from the US Court of Federal Claims. If a person looses a case in the district court that person can appeal the case to the appropriate Court of Appeals Circuit Court.Supreme Court of the United States: The Supreme Court is the highest of the federal courts. Cases from the Circuit Courts and those involving federal question jurisdiction from the state supreme courts can be appealed to the Supreme Court.

How might a president limited the power of the Supreme Court?

"the court has made its decision, now let them try to enforce it". This may not answer the question fully, but as the court has no way to enforce its decisions, it depends on the President to enforce it for them. I recall school issue of segregation in the south when Eisenhouer sent federal troops to ensure the blacks entered white schools. If he had not, the courts order would not have been enforced by the states in that region. Recently, a federal judge ruled on "dont ask dont tell". If the President didnt agree with the courts ruling, and neither did the military. who would enforce the courts order?

What is the judicial branch's structure?

The main function of the judicial branch is to make sure all laws that are passed are considered constitutional and do not go in any way against the Constitution.It can also be described as the forum where disputes between persons, legal entities and/or government agencies are settled through the process of a trial so that disputes are handled peacefully. It is also the function where the guilt or innocence of a person charged with a crime or violation of a law is determined.The structure basically is one trial level court (where the initial lawsuit is heard), one appellate level (where claims that mistakes were made in the trial court leading to wrong decisions are determined) and one Supreme Court (where claims that mistakes were made in the appellate court leading to wrong decisions there can be determined).The trial level courts are set up so that specialized cases are treated in specialized courts for greater efficiency. At the Federal level, bankruptcy cases are heard in the Bankruptcy Court, Immigration cases are heard in the Immigration Court, contract claims against the federal government are heard in the US Court of Federal Claims and other types of specialized cases.Many states have similar specializations such as separate Tax Courts for tax issues, Equity or Chancery courts for equitable relief, etc.To pass judgment in matters that affect monetary gain, ego, or threats to power positions.
