appellate jurisdiction

The power of a court to review and revise a lower court’s decision.

• For example, U.S. Const. art. III, § 2 vests appellate jurisdiction in the Supreme Court, while 28 USCA §§ 1291–1295 grant appellate jurisdiction to lower federal courts of appeals. Cf. original jurisdiction. [Cases: Appeal and Error 17; Courts 203–209; Federal Courts 751. C.J.S. Appeal and Error §§ 31–32, 40.]
