Can filing bankruptcy stop a supreme court lawsuit?
Some states call their trial courts supreme courts. In most states, the supreme court, like the federal Supreme Court, is the highest appellate court in the state. A bankruptcy may not stop a case on appeal to a state supreme court. But if it is a trial court, then bankruptcy can stop a case from going forward. Consult a local bankruptcy lawyer.

Where does a case go after the state Court of Appeals?
The trial phase ends at the US District Court level (or equivalent state trial court). Appeals to the federal US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts (or intermediate state appellate courts) are based on questions of process, law or constitutionality. The case is not retried; appellate courts do not render decisions about the defendants' guilt or innocence.After the intermediate appellate courts, federal cases may be petitioned to the US Supreme Court; state cases may be appealed to the state supreme court (or equivalent). If a state case involves a preserved federal question (matter or federal or constitutional law) it may be appealed to the US Supreme Court after the state supreme court hears or denies hearing on the case.Both the US Supreme Court and state supreme courts (or equivalent) have discretion over which cases they hear (although state supreme courts may have mandatory jurisdiction over certain cases, such as death penalty cases).
How are lower state courts different from higher state courts courts?
The lower state courts are courts of original jurisdiction and hear all cases within their purview and conduct jury trials.

These courts are the Court of Appeals and the State Supreme Court.
