What are the 4 levels of state court and the jurisdiction of each one?
Most states have three levels; some have more. The exact number of levels and their names depend on the state. The most common three levels are the trial court, the appellate court, and the supreme court. The higher-level courts hear appeals of the cases decided in the trial courts. In some states, the names are different. For example, in New York, the trial courts (depending on where you are and what kind of case you have) are called Supreme Courts, Family Courts, County Courts, District Courts, City Courts, Town Courts, or Village Courts; the intermediate appellate court is the Appellate Division, and the highest appellate court is the Court of Appeals.
