Additionally, state courts are more accessible to individuals and businesses, making them a popular choice for resolving legal matters.

This hierarchy usually consists of trial courts at the bottom, which hear initial cases, followed by intermediate appellate courts that review decisions from the trial courts, and finally, the highest court, often called the supreme court, which handles appeals from the intermediate appellate courts and has the final say on legal matters within the jurisdiction.
