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.
