State and federal courts in the U.S. differ primarily in their jurisdiction and the types of cases they handle. State courts deal with the vast majority of legal disputes, including family law, criminal cases, and contracts, while federal courts handle cases that involve federal law, constitutional issues, or disputes between states. Additionally, federal courts typically have limited jurisdiction, meaning they can only hear specific types of cases as defined by federal statutes. The structure of the two court systems also varies, with state courts having their own hierarchies and procedures while federal courts follow rules established by federal law.

Why do you have a federal and state court system in a federal system?
The United States has a dual court system that consists of federal courts and state courts because the federal government and state governments are separate entities. Federal courts generally handle matters related to federal laws, US treaties and the US Constitution. Each state is governed by federal laws, but also has an independent government with its own constitution, laws and local ordinances, and the right to enforce them. The state court system processes cases that arise under their jurisdiction (authority) and ensures defendants and litigants receive due process under the state statutes and constitution, as well as under the US Constitution. The federal courts don't have a right to hear these cases unless they also involve federal or US constitutional law.
