What makes up the judicial branch?
The federal courts make up the Judicial Branch of the United States government. The Constitution established only one federal court, the Supreme Court. It left to Congress the job of creating the federal court system. Congress has created three types of federal courts. 1. District Courts--the nation is divided into 94 federal judicial districts, each with its own district court. These are the courts where cases are tried. 2. Courts of Appeals. The District Courts are divided into 12 regions, called circuits. Each circuit has its own Court of Appeals. There is also a Federal Circuit which covers the entire nation. If a person looses a case in the district court that person can appeal the case to the court of appeals. 3 The Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is the highest of the federal courts. Cases from the court of appeals in each circuit and from the state supreme courts can be appealed to the Supreme Court.
Can Social Security cases be taken to the US Supreme Court?
Not typically. According to the Social Security Administration, the highest level of appeal for Social Security Disability cases is US District Court, unless your case involves a preserved federal question. If you lose in District Court, you can file a new claim with the Administration, but the clock restarts at zero. For more information on the Social Security appeals process, see Related Links, below.
The matter could be heard in either state or federal court What factors should be taken into consideration when deciding which court to bring his case?
I would bring the case to state court, because if you bring the case to federal court it can't be heard again, but if you bring the case to state court then, if you lose, the case be appealed and heard again, if they chose to hear it, in supreme court then it can't be heard again if you lose again in supreme court.
What are the 4 levels of state court and the jurisdiction of each one?
The four levels of state court are: trial courts (where cases are initially heard), intermediate appellate courts (where decisions from trial courts can be appealed), supreme courts (the highest state court that hears appeals from intermediate appellate courts), and specialty courts (such as family court or probate court that handle specific types of cases). The jurisdiction of each court varies, but generally trial courts have original jurisdiction over most cases, while appellate courts have jurisdiction to review decisions made by trial courts. Speciality courts have jurisdiction over specific types of cases assigned to them.
What is the definition of Court of Appeals?
A court of appeals is a court of appellate jurisdiction. This is in contrast to a court of original jurisdiction. If I get in a car wreck and want to sue, I would file my lawsuit in the trial court (whether state or federal), a court of original jurisdiction. Say I lose. I get one appeal as of right to the court of appeals. In most states, that is called the court of appeals or appellate division (or the circuit court of appeals in the federal system) There judges would review my case to be sure the decision at trial was proper. If I lose again, I could petition my State's supreme court (or the US supreme court if I was in federal court) for what is called certiorari (which just means I am asking them to hear my case). The Supreme Court is not required to hear my case, but if they do, that would be the final word on whatever issue I presented to that court in most cases.

If you lose case in a district court where can you send your case for review?
Your next step would be to appeal your case to the Court of Appeals for the particular Disctrict Court in which you were convicted. They will review it and either agree to review it, affirm it (they agree with the trial court), or remand it (send it back to the trial couort) for further action.
If a State gains or loses a Congressional district it will also gain or lose an electoral vote?
yes, because each district has a congressman, and if you lose one you lose electoral votes, you gain one you get an electoral vote.
What can a person do if they think a bill is passed by congress and signed by the president is unconstitutional?
You can file in federal court to protect yourself from enforcement of a unconstitutional law. If you lose, you can appeal and if you win enough appeals, the case may get to the Supreme Court which can declare that the law is unconstitutional.
How can a judge lose at court?
Judges don't "lose" in court, they rule on cases and points of law. Occasionally their decisions may be overturned by an appeals court, but that is not described as a "loss."
Who decides if civil or small claims?
The plaintiff decides. However, there are two main exceptions: If it is over $5000, it must be tried in county court. And, if the Defendant wishes, he or she may remove the case from Small Claims court to county or district court where he or she may be represented by an attorney. Be careful, if you file in small claims court and it is removed, you will lose the right to trial by jury.
What happens if you lose a trial in district court?
If you are not satisfied with the verdict, and you (and/or your attorney) believe you have sufficient grounds for an appeal, you can try appealing the verdict to the state court of appeals.
