What three courts specialize in only on type of case?
Juvenile courts, bankruptcy courts, family courts, drug courts, mental health courts, and small claim courts are all examples of courts that specialize in a certain type of case.
What are the three main types of courts that specializes in only one type ofcase?
The three main types of courts that specialize in only one type of case are probate courts (handle matters related to wills and estates), bankruptcy courts (focus on cases involving individuals or organizations in financial distress), and juvenile courts (deal with cases involving minors).
What courts are the main trial courts of Louisiana?
The trial courts of Louisiana are District Courts, Juvenile Courts, Parish Courts, City Courts, Justice of the Peace Courts, Mayor's and Magistrate Courts, and some specialized courts in some parishes. There are District Courts and Justice of the Peace Courts in every parish; the other courts only exist in some parishes.Which court is the "main" court for your case depends on your location and type of case. District Courts can take any case, but generally won't take a case if it can be handled by a lower court. District Court criminal cases are usually felonies, and District Court civil cases are usually for higher dollar amounts.Which cases are actually handled by which courts also depends on which parish the case is in, so it can't be answered in this space. But the related link below has a good summary of Louisiana courts' jurisdiction, and you can then select a parish and check the websites for all the courts in that parish.
Simularities between trial and appelate courts?
Trial courts hear the entire criminal case including the testimony of all witnesses and view the case evidence as it presented in support of the case. Appelate courts examine ONLY the records of the trial case. They hear no testimony and view no eviddence. They decide only technical matters of law and its application, and issue rulings based on whether the original trial court erred (or didn't err) on any procedure(s). Trial courts are presided over by a single trial judge, Appeals courts usually consist of a panel consisting of 3 or more judges.
If a case involves only state law what is the highest court it can be appealed to?
Courts of original jurisdiction are the only courts that can determine the facts of a case. Appeals courts can only determine whether the law was followed, or whether the law itself is legal. If a state law violates the US constitution, it may be appealed to a federal appeals court. Lower federal appeals courts will generally handle the case if it it patently unconstitutional under established precedent. If the issue is not settled, they generally will bump it up to the Supreme Court of the United States. Whether the appeals court accepts the appeal is another question. But there was a case in the 1950s or 1960s where a traffic case from a justice of the peace could not be appealed within the state system because it didn't meet a certain financial threshold, and the Supreme Court of the United States accepted the appeal on the basis that the financial threshold for appealing a case was unconstitutional.
What are the names of the 3 courts that make up the judicial branch?

How does the appellate court relate to the Supreme Court?
Federal and state supreme courts (or their equivalent) are the highest appellate courts in their jurisdiction and have authority to make the final decision on a case under review.Supreme courts usually have what's informally known as "intermediate appellate courts" immediately below them. In the federal judiciary, the US Supreme Court is higher than the thirteen US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts (intermediate appellate courts).Some of the differences are:The Supreme Courts set binding precedents for all courts in a given state or nation, whereas intermediate appellate courts only set binding precedents fewer courts or a smaller territory.Supreme Courts have much more latitude (discretion) over the cases they hear; intermediate appellate courts have mandatory jurisdiction over more types of cases.There is usually only one supreme court for a given state or nation (although Texas has two), but many intermediate appellate courts.The intermediate appellate courts here more cases.Supreme courts consider cases en banc (as a full court); intermediate appellate courts are more likely to assign one judge or a three-judge panel to review a case, although they do occasionally hear cases en banc, as well.
District courts are the only federal courts that .?
use a jury
How did the federal courts develop?
I think at first there were only local courts but then if one local person had a problem with a man of another city, neither the court of first man nor the court of second man's city could hear it because both disagree with the ruling that a court make for another city's person. To solve this they made state level courts. Some time later a case came up in which a man from one state filed a law suite for a man from another state. The same problem that we had with the local courts happens again here and both disagree with the ruling that both of those state's courts make. At last to solve this, they made federal courts to hear that kind of case in which two different states are involved. It's not the only kind of case that federal courts hear but it one of those types of cases that federal courts may hear. Hope you got it
