- Abstract
The United States has a dual court system. There are state courts and federal courts. Each of fifty states as well as the District of Columbia has its own fully developed, independent system of courts. Cases may arise in either system. Both systems are basically three tiered. At the bottom of the system are trial courts, where litigation begins. In the middle are appellate courts in the state systems and courts of appeals in the federal system. At the top of each pyramid sits a high court. Most states call these supreme courts. The Supreme Court of the United States of America (The highest court of the land) was established pursuant to Article III of the United States Constitution in 1789. As the court of last resort at the top of the judicial pyramid, it reviews cases from the U.S. courts of appeals and state supreme courts and acts as the final interpreter of the U.S. Constitution. It not only decides many major cases with tremendous policy significance each year, but it also ensures uniformity in the interpretation of national laws and the Constitution, resolving conflicts among states, and maintains the supremacy of national law in the federal system.
