	Appellate jurisdiction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Appellate jurisdiction refers to the power of a court to review and potentially modify the decisions made by another court or tribunal.
		The review process is known as an appeal, and is normally initiated by an action of the party who is dissatisfied with the decision of the lower court.
		Depending on the court and the type of case, appellate review may consist of an entirely new hearing on the matter (a trial de novo), or may be limited to a review of particular legal rulings made by the inferior tribunal (an appeal on the record).

	Appellate Sentence Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Today, Alaska's appellate courts routinely review and modify criminal sentences under the authority of Alaska Statutes section 12.55.120(a), a statute that confers upon the appellate courts the power to modify sentences found to be overly severe.
		After the sentence review statute was passed, the supreme court, and later the Alaska court of Appeals, struggled with the more complicated issue of the proper role for appellate courts in sentencing criminal defendants and in creating sentencing policy.
		Proponents of appellate review argued that appellate judges could regulate trial court discretion in two ways: they could review individual sentences, modifying those found to be excessive or too lenient, and they could in the process articulate standards and guidelines governing the imposition of criminal sanctions.

	Libel Law, Independent Appellate Review, New York Times Sullivan Bose Consumers Union Cornell Law Review, Gary Paranzino
		In appeals from federal nonjury trials rule 52(a) prohibits review of the trial judge's findings of fact unless they are 'clearly erroneous.' [fn41] Bose is the first case to analyze whether independent appellate review conflicts with rule 52(a) by subjecting a trial judge's finding of actual malice to additional review.
		[fn100] To establish a coherent, workable doctrine of independent appellate review, courts must honestly identify those questions that involve whether 'the rule of law as applied to the established facts is or is not violated' and define these as mixed questions of law and fact not subject to the strictures of rule 52(a).
