The American court system has its roots in what law?
The American Court System came directly from English Common Law. The Jury system was created by King William the Conquerer in 1066 A.D. English Common Law was created by King Henry II. The system has been modified many times since then. Generally, each state has three levels of courts, the trial court, the appeal court, and the supreme court. Sometimes they call the levels, the trial court, the supreme court, and the appeal court. Sometimes they use different names. Then there are specialized courts for specialized purposes. Some states have a special probate court. Others do not. Not all states retained the specialized English court system. Some states created additional Courts. Still, when the United States became independent, it started with the English court system in place in all states and all using English Common Law. Each state went its own way from there.
