There are 3 "levels" of courts that make up the judicial branch. These are: 1. Trial courts 2. Courts of appeal 3. Court of last resort. Another system of levels comprised within the judicial system is district courts, circuit courts, and appellate courts.

Answer 2

For the US Supreme Court, the three main courts is the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeals/Circuit courts, and the District Courts.

The lowest of the Federal courts is the District courts. There are 94 District courts in the US spread throughout the 50 states. District courts are original jurisdiction, which means they are the first court to see the case. 95% of the cases in the District courts are Criminal or Civil courts. Cases go to these courts when the accused group or person has violated a federal crime, or has committed a crime in multiple states, which means the state courts wouldn't be allowed to see the case. For the other 5% of the cases, there are special courts, for cases dealing with Tax, military, bankruptcy or property claims questions.

The middle Federal courts are the Appeal/Circuit courts, which have appellate jurisdiction. This means that they only see cases where a person from another case found the original court decision unfair, and they want to appeal to another court. There are 12 federal Appeal/Circuit courts in the US.

Of course, there is the highest court in the US, the Supreme Court. There is only 1 Supreme court, with 9 judges, all of which where appointed by the President. The Supreme Court has can have Original or Appellate jurisdiction. As stated in article 3 of the constitution the Supreme court has original jurisdiction "In all cases affecting ambassadors, or other public ministers and consuls." Otherwise the Supreme Court tends to have appellate jurisdiction. The Supreme Court can pick which cases they want to see, and in order for them to see a case, at least four of the Justices must vote to see it. Out of the 8,000 appeals the Supreme Court gets a year, they only see about 100 cases. And any decisions the Supreme Court makes about a case is final, their decisions cannot be appealed, unless a constitutional amendment is made.
