Legislative
decides cases involving crimes against
The North Carolina state courts.
State courts hear any and all cases having to do with the laws of their particular state which were passed by their state legislature. They do not hear cases involving the laws of other states nor do they hear Federal cases.
Federal courts have jurisdiction over cases involving federal laws, the Constitution, disputes between states, and cases involving the United States government. State courts have jurisdiction over cases involving state laws, contracts, property disputes, and criminal cases that are not under federal jurisdiction. Federal courts handle cases that involve federal laws and the Constitution, while state courts handle cases that involve state laws and local issues.
The key differences between state and federal court systems in the United States are the types of cases they handle, their jurisdiction, and the laws they apply. State courts primarily handle cases involving state laws and issues, while federal courts handle cases involving federal laws and issues. Federal courts have jurisdiction over cases involving federal laws, the U.S. Constitution, disputes between states, and cases involving parties from different states. State courts have jurisdiction over cases involving state laws, local ordinances, and disputes between residents of the same state. Additionally, federal courts are established by the U.S. Constitution and have limited jurisdiction, while state courts are established by state constitutions and have broader jurisdiction.
people and the state
Most criminal cases are heard in state courts because criminal law is primarily under the jurisdiction of state governments. States have their own criminal codes and court systems to handle cases involving violations of state laws. Federal courts typically only hear criminal cases involving violations of federal laws.
Concurrent jurisdiction allows both state and federal courts to hear cases involving federal laws, diversity of citizenship cases, and cases involving concurrent jurisdiction statutes. It means either court can hear the case.
