Editing Appellate court (section)

==Bifurcation of civil and criminal appeals==
While many appellate courts have jurisdiction over all cases decided by lower courts, some systems have appellate courts divided by the type of jurisdiction they exercise. Some jurisdictions have specialized appellate courts, such as the [[Texas Court of Criminal Appeals]], which only hears appeals raised in criminal cases, and the [[United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit|U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit]], which has general jurisdiction but derives most of its caseload from patent cases, on one hand, and appeals from the [[Court of Federal Claims]] on the other. In the United States, Alabama, Tennessee, and Oklahoma also have separate courts of criminal appeals. Texas and [[Oklahoma]] have the final determination of criminal cases vested in their respective courts of criminal appeals,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.americanbar.org/groups/judicial/publications/judges_journal/2014/fall/bifurcated_appellate_review_the_texas_story_of_two_high_courts/|title=Bifurcated Appellate Review: The Texas Story of Two High Courts|website=www.americanbar.org}}</ref> while Alabama and Tennessee allow decisions of its court of criminal appeals to be finally appealed to the state supreme court.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://judicial.alabama.gov/Appellate/CriminalAppeals|title=Alabama Judicial System|website=judicial.alabama.gov}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.tncourts.gov/courts/court-criminal-appeals/about|title=About the Court of Criminal Appeals - Tennessee Administrative and Administrative Appeals has Office of the Inspector General’s Department and Courts|website=www.tncourts.gov}}</ref>
