The American Court System The Dual System of State and Federal Courts
By definition, the ‘federal’ system of government entails two levels of authority to make and administer law. In the United States, the competence to regulate most aspects of the day-to-day life of citizens and the basic institutions of daily life remains with state governments, and most civil and criminal cases are accordingly heard in state courts and decided by rules of law created according to state constitutional processes.
Federal law is the supreme law of the land, and state court cases constantly raise issues of federal law. Indeed, some federal laws create rights and duties which are expressly left for their enforcement to cases that plaintiffs may choose to bring either in federal or state courts, and state courts have no privilege under the Constitution to refuse to entertain such suits on federal rights.
The following chart will help you visualize how the cases move from court to court.
Level 1 Trial Court→ |
Level 2 Appellate→ |
Level 3 Court of Last Resort |
State system: e.g. Circuit Court of Shelby County, Tennessee |
e.g. Court of Appeals of Tennessee |
e.g. Supreme Court of Tennessee |
Federal system: District Court |
U.S. Court of Appeals |
U.S. Supreme Court |
Each of the fifty states and several territories has its own system so the chart above and the explanations below are very generalized overviews.
