The California Courts of Appeal are intermediate courts of review that ensure the law is interpreted and applied correctly. They review appeals from cases heard in a superior court and other matters prescribed by statute. The state is divided into 6 appellate districts, with 19 divisions and 101 justices. An appeal is a request to a higher court to review a decision made in a completed trial or proceeding. The Courts of Appeal decide questions of law and do not hear testimony or retry cases. The process involves filing a notice of appeal, submitting briefs, and hearing oral arguments. A concurrence of two out of the three justices is necessary to form a majority opinion. The California Supreme Court and the U.S. Supreme Court can review decisions of the Courts of Appeal.
