Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At the first level of appellate courts, an appeal is typically a matter of right, meaning the court must hear the appeal. At the second level, however, it is usually at the discretion of the court whether or not to hear the appeal. This allows the court to focus its resources on cases with the most merit or significance. The other choices listed, such as the discretion of the President or Governor, or the discretion of the jury, are not typically involved in the appellate court process.
