The judicial branch, also known as the courts, decide punishments for a wide range of criminal offenses. For example, a typical legal case starts at the municipal or state level; but if you lose, you may then appeal to a higher court. In some states, these appeals are heard at the superior court; in others, they are heard at the appellate division of the district court.
