The Supreme Court (at least in the USA) is the final arbitrator of cases. Cases are submitted to the Supreme Court in order to correct errors in judgment for the lower courts; even traffic tickets can go to the US Supreme Court, although it is highly unlikely because the Supreme Court has jurisdiction to take the appeal only if the appeal involves a federal question of some sort. The US Supreme Court has no jurisdiction over matters that are purely state related. Errors in judgment can cover a wide array of things (much too long to answer here).

Is the US Supreme Court the same as the Judicial Branch?

The term "supreme court" is used in both the state and federal judicial systems. Every state has a state supreme court, or a differently named equivalent, which is the highest appellate court within the state system. State supreme courts are typically located in the state capital. In at least one state, New York, "supreme court" refers not to the highest court of appeals, but to the trial court in which cases are initially heard.Every state is also a part of the national federal court system and its federal regulations, starting from district, appellate, and finally, the U.S. Supreme Court. The US Supreme Court is the highest appellate court in both federal and state systems for preserved questions of federal and constitutional law. The US Supreme Court has no jurisdiction over individual state laws or state constitutional issues.Generally, when people refer to "The Supreme Court," they mean the Supreme Court of the United States, or (colloquially) SCOTUS or US Supreme Court. When referring to a state supreme court, a person usually identifies the state first, as in Ohio Supreme Court, Alabama Supreme Court, etc.
