What court system includes state and federal courts?
The Constitution established only one federal court, the Supreme Court. It left to Congress the job of creating the federal court system. Congress has created three types of federal courts. 1. District Courts--the nation is divided into 94 federal judicial districts, each with its own district court. These are the courts where cases are tried. 2. Courts of Appeals. The District Courts are divided into 12 regions, called circuits. Each circuit has its own Court of Appeals. There is also a Federal Circuit which covers the entire nation. If a person looses a case in the district court that person can appeal the case to the court of appeals. 3 The Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is the highest of the federal courts. Cases from the court of appeals in each circuit and from the state supreme courts can be appealed to the Supreme Court.
What is at the top of the federal court system?
In the state system, the highest appellate court is the State Supreme Court (or equivalent); In the federal systemAND overall, the highest court is the US Supreme Court.The courts work in two systems, the state courts and the federal courts. The state courts start off in the local trial level court, followed by the state court of appeal, and then to the state supreme court. The federal system works in regions. At the top you have the U.S. Supreme Court, which is in domination over the 11 circuit courts of appeal, which split up the U.S. and its territories. Each Circuit Court has domination over a number of District Courts, which is the federal trial level court.Thus, since the federal courts are in regions, there may not be a circuit court of appeals in every state, which makes it possible to only have a federal district (trial) court in a state. If your state is the resident state for the federal circuit court, (like California has the 9th Circuit), then you will have both. Only Washington DC has all three federal levels of the courts in its borders.Even if your Circuit Court is in another state, you still have access to the Court for appellate purposes.AnswerIt should be noted that the terminology varies slightly from state to state, though the basic structure (local trial courts, regional appellate courts, statewide supreme court) is generally the same.For example, in New York, the trial courts are called the "Supreme Court," while the state's highest appellate court (normally called the Supreme Court in the federal system, and most state systems) is called the "New York State Court of Appeals."I suspect they do this to confuse law students.
