The United States Code contains around 60 volumes. The reporter in which the Supreme Court decisions are published is numbered in the 560s. Each state has a similar reporter and code book probably slightly shorter but some longer. And then there are the federal appeals and district court decisions which are law because the Supreme court never changed them. So every scrap of American law is probably over 50000 books

The guiding force in the US for US Supreme Court decisions is the US Constitution. The Supreme Court is one of the three major parts of the Federal government. Through the Congress, the Executive branch and the Court, a balance of power was created.
The state supreme court is the highest state court in the state court system. It makes decisions according to the statutes and constitution of the state in which it is housed, as well as case law, or precedents, established by earlier state or federal Supreme Court decisions, and operates almost entirely on an appellate basis.The outcome of court cases is considered final except where there is a preserved issue that can be raised under federal jurisdiction - such cases would then be eligible for review by the Supreme Court of the United States.
