Question 7:

The United States has federal circuit courts of appeals. Pennsylvania is located in the 3rd Circuit (Third Circuit) Court of Appeals.

Appellate jurisdiction means that a court (in this case, these courts) has the authority to review the decisions made by lower courts (trial courts or other subordinate courts). The court can examine whether the lower court made legal errors in its ruling, the application of law, or the procedure followed during the case. The purpose is to ensure that the law was applied correctly and procedures were followed properly in the lower court's decision - making process.

3rd Circuit (or Third Circuit)
