The second highest court is the U.S. Court of Appeals for the [Specific] Circuit (e.g., US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit), comprising twelve regional and one U.S. Federal Circuit. The Court of Appeals oversees the United States District Courts (trial courts), which have original jurisdiction over federal cases heard within their assigned territories.
At the individual state level, the highest court is the [State] Supreme Court, which is subordinate to the U.S. Supreme Court on all issues except those involving the state legislature and state constitution, provided the legislation or state constitution doesn't violate federal law or US Constitutional mandates.
