What cases are bound by a decision of a state appeals court?

Decisions made by a state appeals court are binding on lower courts within the same state, meaning that trial courts must follow the legal principles established by the appeals court. Additionally, the decisions are typically binding on subsequent cases involving similar facts and legal issues within that jurisdiction. However, these decisions do not bind other state appeals courts or federal courts, as they operate under different jurisdictions and legal precedents.


Which branch overrule decisions made by lower courts?

In the U.S. there are two court systems, one at the federal level, and each state has its own courts. Federal cases that originated in lower courts can be appealed to higher federal courts that handle appeals. The highest court of appeals in the federal system is the United States Supreme Court. It is rare for cases to ever actually go this far. Each state is free to create its own court system, but most simply copy the federal system. Decisions by local courts may be appealed to that state's higher courts, often called a superior court or state supreme court.
