How is an appeals court different then a traditional federal court?

a. There are three justices in an appeals court.

c. There are no options after the appeals court.

b. There are three justices in a traditional federal court.

d. There are more chances to be heard at an appeals court.

The answer is D. There are more chances to be heard at an appeals court.

The main difference between the two is that at an appeals court cases can be appealed to the U. S. Supreme Court if one of the parties disagrees on the decision. When a case is appealed, no new evidence can be presented. The new judge just takes note of the evidence presented at the original trial. For federal courts, cases are presented for the first time.
