There is no "relationship." They are totally separate from one another. State courts are charged with the responsibility of interpreting and ruling on laws promulgated by their state's legislature, and exercising appeal authority over the lower courts of their particular state. State courts do NOT enforce ANY Federal Laws. Federal Courts are charged with the responsibilty of interpreting and ruling on Federal Laws. The only time State court matters come before them would be if a state court matter was appealed to the Federal Circuit because of a potential Constitutional issue.
