Appeals Court Function explores the crucial role of appellate courts within the criminal justice system, offering a detailed examination of how these courts review trial court decisions. The book highlights the balance between ensuring fairness and respecting the verdicts reached at trial, illustrating how appellate courts serve as a check on potential injustices. Intriguingly, the text reveals the stringent rules and processes that govern criminal appeals, demonstrating the limited power of appellate courts to overturn verdicts.

The book begins by introducing foundational concepts like appellate jurisdiction and standards of review, then progresses through the major stages of the appellate process. It analyzes cases where the appeal system either succeeded or failed in protecting a defendant's rights, focusing on specific grounds for appeal such as errors in jury instructions or prosecutorial misconduct. By combining legal scholarship with case law analysis, the author provides a unique perspective on the appellate process.

Moreover, the book's value lies in its accessible approach to complex legal concepts, making it suitable for a broad audience including law students, legal professionals, and anyone interested in the workings of the criminal justice system. It delves into the historical development of appellate review and addresses the impact of factors like political pressures and resource constraints on the appellate process, offering a comprehensive and nuanced understanding.
