In the United States, state courts often conduct pretrial activities for more significant cases, particularly in criminal matters. These pretrial activities are typically handled by trial courts, which may include district or superior courts, depending on the state. In some jurisdictions, specialized courts, such as felony courts, focus on more serious offenses and manage pretrial hearings, bail determinations, and arraignments. Additionally, some states may utilize municipal or circuit courts for pretrial proceedings before cases are escalated to higher courts.

Judges' conduct is typically reviewed by appellate courts, which can evaluate decisions made by lower courts and the appropriateness of a judge's conduct during trials. Additionally, judicial conduct commissions or boards, often established at the state or federal level, investigate allegations of misconduct and can recommend disciplinary actions. In some cases, state supreme courts may also play a role in overseeing judicial conduct. Overall, mechanisms for review can vary by jurisdiction.
The lower state courts are courts of original jurisdiction and hear all cases within their purview and conduct jury trials.

Some defendants are held in pretrial detention primarily due to concerns about public safety, the risk of flight, or the possibility of committing further crimes if released. Courts assess factors such as the severity of the charges, the defendant's criminal history, and ties to the community. Pretrial detention aims to ensure that defendants appear for their court dates and maintain the integrity of the judicial process. Additionally, it can serve to protect victims and witnesses from potential retaliation.
