False. Once an appeal is accepted, courts within the appellate division do not conduct a new trial. Instead, they review the record of the trial court proceedings to determine whether any errors were made in the application of the law or procedure. The appellate court may reverse, affirm, or modify the decision of the trial court, but it does not conduct a new trial.
