What is the difference between a trial court and an appellate court?
Is a trial court those in which a case is first heard and it is decided whether the accused is guilty or not? And is an appellate court a court in which appeals are heard?
Also does trial judge merely just refer to a judge in a trial court and an appellate judge refers to a judge in an appellate court?
Thank you
