What courts ONLY hear cases on appeal from the lower courts?

There may be some state appellate courts that don't have original jurisdiction but on the federal level there are none among the regular courts who only hear appeals from lower courts.





The US Supreme Court has original jurisdiction in cases that involve disputes directly between states. A few years ago Iowa and Nebraska disputed the actual location of part of their boundary. Maryland and Virginia had a dispute over use of water from the Potomac River.





US Circuit Courts of Appeals primarily the one in the District Of Columbia hear appeals in addition to those from the lower courts but also those challenging rulings by executive branch agenciesWhat courts ONLY hear cases on appeal from the lower courts?
sorry it wasn't more straightfoward but it was to explain my answer. No federal court on any level has exclusively appellate jurisdiction. More sorry you didn't get more answers. I am sure there is a state court which has exclusively appellate jurisdiction I don't know which one(s). Good question
