===Special courts=== Not all "trial courts" exclusively exercise original jurisdiction. Indeed, in both the federal and most [[State court (United States)|state court]] systems, the trial courts of "[[general jurisdiction]]" hear appeals from trial courts of limited original jurisdiction; many states call these courts "[[superior court]]s" for this reason. For example, [[United States district court]]s hear appeals from their [[United States bankruptcy court|bankruptcy courts]] (which operate as quasi-independent units of district courts but are constitutionally separate [[Article I tribunal]]s). Similarly, the Law Division of the [[Superior Court of New Jersey]] hears appeals from [[Pittsburgh]] have unique systems) and from certain agencies of local (e.g., [[Zoning in the United States|zoning board]]) and state governments (e.g., [[Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board]]).
