The U.S. federal government and individual states each have their own courts.

Individual states, with a couple of exceptions, have a single system of trial courts for each county, which are grouped into appellate districts, each of which is answerable to the state's highest court (the state's "Supreme Court" in most states, and the "Court of Appeals" in New York).

Every state also hosts 1-4 federal district courts, each of which is answerable to one of about a dozen United States Court of Appeals, depending on the geographic region.

All courts, state and federal, must ultimately defer to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Whether a claim or charge is heard in a state or federal court depends on the issue of substantive law in question: the U.S. Constitution delegates certain enumerated powers to the federal government, but leaves all other issues to the states. As a practical example, because "the advancement of the useful arts" is delegated by the Constitution to Congress, patent claims are heard in federal courts. By contrast, a murder charge--not specifically addressed in the Constitution--will almost always be heard in state court.
