Will you ever see a murder trial in the US Supreme Court?
No. The US Supreme Court only exercises appellate jurisdiction over criminal cases originating in the state and federal court systems; they do not hold trials. The federal court of original jurisdiction (trial court) for a murder case would be the US District Court overseeing the territory in which the crime occurred.
How many branches are in the US Supreme Court?
None. The US Supreme Court is head of the Judicial Branch of government; it does not have branches of its own. If you're asking how many Circuits (US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts) are below the Supreme Court, the answer is thirteen.
Is the US Supreme Court the same as the Judicial Branch?
The term "supreme court" is used in both the state and federal judicial systems. Every state has a state supreme court, or a differently named equivalent, which is the highest appellate court within the state system. State supreme courts are typically located in the state capital. In at least one state, New York, "supreme court" refers not to the highest court of appeals, but to the trial court in which cases are initially heard.Every state is also a part of the national federal court system and its federal regulations, starting from district, appellate, and finally, the U.S. Supreme Court. The US Supreme Court is the highest appellate court in both federal and state systems for preserved questions of federal and constitutional law. The US Supreme Court has no jurisdiction over individual state laws or state constitutional issues.Generally, when people refer to "The Supreme Court," they mean the Supreme Court of the United States, or (colloquially) SCOTUS or US Supreme Court. When referring to a state supreme court, a person usually identifies the state first, as in Ohio Supreme Court, Alabama Supreme Court, etc.
