Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Appellate courts not only correct legal errors made by trial courts but also have the power to shape and define legal policies through their decisions. However, policy formation is not the primary purpose of appellate courts. The other options - vacating sentences, issuing stays, and issuing writs of certiorari - are specific functions that appellate courts may perform in individual cases, but they do not represent the main purpose of appellate courts.
