re: #383 NelsFree

What I heard her say at one point (1:20) was, “The Appeals Court is where you consider how the law is developing, so you can then apply it to a broad class of cases”.

I thought the Appeals Court reviewed the validity of the lower case’s ruling and procedure! This just gets more interesting…

I can’t find fault with that quote, frankly. Yes, appellate decisions have much greater precedential value than do trial court decisions. Always been that way.
