In addition to the Supreme Court, there are more than 90 district courts in the federal court system, at least one in each state. Most cases end with the district court's decision, but if an appeal is filed, it goes to the appellate court, the next level in the federal court hierarchy . The appellate court's job is to see whether or not the lower court has made errors, not to retry the case. Each side is given an opportunity to argue, to submit briefs, and then the judges write an opinion. The process is similar to the Supreme Court; the volume is dramatically different.
