The lower state courts are courts of original jurisdiction and hear all cases within their purview and conduct jury trials. The higher state courts are not courts of original jurisdiction, only hearing cases that are referred to them by appeal of a lower court verdict or by motion. They conduct non-jury trials. These courts are the Court of Appeals and the State Supreme Court.

What three lower courts are there?
The three main types of lower courts in the United States are district courts, which handle federal cases; state trial courts, which deal with state law cases; and appellate courts, which review decisions made by lower courts. District courts are the general trial courts of the federal system, while state trial courts vary in structure and jurisdiction depending on the state. Appellate courts, both at the state and federal levels, focus on legal errors in the application of law rather than re-examining evidence.
Which branch overrule decisions made by lower courts?
In the U.S. there are two court systems, one at the federal level, and each state has its own courts. Federal cases that originated in lower courts can be appealed to higher federal courts that handle appeals. The highest court of appeals in the federal system is the United States Supreme Court. It is rare for cases to ever actually go this far. Each state is free to create its own court system, but most simply copy the federal system. Decisions by local courts may be appealed to that state's higher courts, often called a superior court or state supreme court.
