No types of inferior courts are listed in the US Constitution. The Constitution sets up the Supreme Court in Article III but leaves it to Congress to set up other inferior courts as it sees fit. In addition to the Article III power to create inferior courts, Article I also empowers Congress to create tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court but likewise does not describe what type they might be.
Article III of the US Constitution refers to them as "inferior courts."

They don't. Appeals courts ONLY hear cases appealed to them from lower/inferior courts.
Article Three of the Constitution. Section 1 of Article Three vests judicial power in a supreme court as well as inferior courts that Congress establishes as they see fit. Section 2 expounds on what type of power the federal courts hold and bestows on the courts the power of jurisdiction.
It depends on the type of government. Some are strictly regulated by law some by the people in power
Both Article I, Section 8 and Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution assigned authority for creating the federal courts to Congress. This allows Congress to establish Courts and tribunals that are part of the Judicial Branch (constitutional courts), as well as courts of limited jurisdiction that operate outside the Judicial Branch.Article III CourtsUS District CourtsUS Court of International TradeUS Court of Appeals Circuit CourtsSupreme Court of the United StatesExamples of Article I CourtsUS Court of Federal ClaimsUS Bankruptcy CourtUS Tax CourtUS Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces
The Supreme Court hears any cases that involve the interpretation of the Constitution.
Juvenile courts, bankruptcy courts, family courts, drug courts, mental health courts, and small claim courts are all examples of courts that specialize in a certain type of case.
Apex-type question, not rephrased, subject is covered abundantly.
Trick question? They start with the statutes passed by the legislature giving the courts their authority. There are different types of jurisdiction. Personal jurisdiction address the question of whether the courts in a particular state can require you to appear and participate. Subject-matter jurisdiction addresses the question of whether the court has the authority to hear a particular type of dispute. For example, divorces in most states are handled by a particular court, and the other courts in that state do not have subject-matter jurisdiction to hear that type of case. Authority simply refers to rules established that affect the decision of the court. Courts get their authority from the legislature. Once the courts are established, the superior courts (like the US Supreme Court on issues of interpreting the US Constitution) decide cases, which become authority for the inferior courts. Civil Procedure is a year-long law school course. About 1/3 of that deals with jurisdiction. It is not a simple question.
