state governments. Our political system dictates that both the federal government and each of the state governments have their own court systems. Therefore, while the Constitution states that the federal government is supreme with regard to those powers delegated to it, the states remain supreme in matters reserved to them. Both the federal and state governments need their own court systems to apply and interpret their laws which are done by specifically spelling out the jurisdiction of their respective court systems. U.S. District Courts, U.S. Circuit Courts of <a href='/topics/appeal' style='color:#3174a3'>Appeal</a>, and the U.S. Supreme Court are all one type of federal court,<a data-href=/writing/document/FKCGERFCTC class="document__middle white-space--normal source-serif text-l" rel="nofollow" style="cursor:pointer;white-space: normal;"> <i>…show more content…</i> </a></p></span><span class="document__preview text-l source-serif "><p class='text-ellipsis-after'><a href='/topics/state-court' style='color:#3174a3'>State court</a> systems deal with issues of law relating to those matters that the U.S. Constitution did not give to the federal government such as most matters concerning the regulation of the family such as a marriages, divorces, adoptions; probate courts handle wills and estates. State courts also handle contract cases and tort cases such as personal injuries. State courts are the final arbiters of state laws and constitutions. <br /> The U.S. Constitution guarantees the right for a jury trial in the federal court if the amount of the claim is over $20, however, the same does not hold true for a state court (many states do have the guarantee but the claim amount may be much higher).<br /> Parties dissatisfied with a decision of a U.S. District Court, the U.S. Court of Claims, and/or the U.S. Court of International Trade may appeal to a U.S. Court of Appeals. Only certain cases are eligible for review by the U.S. Supreme Court and the Supreme Court may choose to hear or not to hear such cases. Parties dissatisfied with the decision from a state <a href='/topics/trial-court' style='color:#3174a3'>trial court</a> may take their case to the intermediate Court of Appeals.

On the other hand, the United States federal system handle cases that deal with 1) the Constitution, 2) laws that are passed through congress and 3) cases in which the United States is a party.

Other ones could be disputes between individuals of different states, lawsuits involving the Federal/Foreign Government, and treaty cases.

The United States Constitution is the original document in which it established fundamental laws for the national government as well as protecting the right of the citizens. The U.S Constitution was designed to avoid too much power in the system of checks and balances. As years went by, the Constitution began to adapt to the modern changes. Subsequently, the judicial system began to full fill the U.S Constitution’s purpose. Both Federal and State have their own jurisdiction and functions as stated in the Constitution. However, in recent years the judicial system has been broken due to lack of structure in law on the book and law in action.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1062 Words</li><li>5 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-good-essays"><div><span>Good Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/Is-The-Judicial-System-Broken-F3VWH3ECF99X">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay9"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/A-Dual-Court-System-F38JNR5Y9J5W" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">A Dual Court System Essay</h2></a><ul><li>976 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/A-Dual-Court-System-F38JNR5Y9J5W" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">A Dual Court System Essay</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">However in the United States we have what is referred to as a dual court system. A dual court system can be defined as a judicial system comprising federal- and state- level judicial systems. A dual court system separates federal and state courts. According to the book a dual court system is advantageous and desirable because it is parallel to federalism. Federalism is a system of government where power is constitutionally divided between central governing body and various constituent units. In the United States, the federal government makes laws, but federalism also gives the state’s power to make their own laws (Siegel, Schmalleger, & Worral, 2011). The Founding fathers saw it as a way to serve as check on an abusive or tyrannical government.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>976 Words</li><li>4 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-decent-essays"><div><span>Decent Essays</span></div></div><div class="small-12 medium-12 large-1-5 position-relative card-grade-essay-button-col"><a class="button text-m " href="/essay/A-Dual-Court-System-F38JNR5Y9J5W">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay10"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-12 card box-shadow card-grade-essay paper no-padding"><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 hide-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-satisfactory-essays"><div><span>Satisfactory Essays</span></div></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 position-relative hide-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col padding-left-1-imp"><a href="/essay/Three-Main-Levels-Of-The-Federal-Court-PJYJ52QA95T" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Three Main Levels Of The Federal Court System</h2></a><ul><li>152 Words</li><li>1 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns small-12 medium-12 large-8 position-relative"><div class="card-grade-essay-preview-col show-for-large"><a href="/essay/Three-Main-Levels-Of-The-Federal-Court-PJYJ52QA95T" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Three Main Levels Of The Federal Court System</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">There are three main levels to the federal court system: district courts, circuit courts, and the Supreme court.

The federal courts can hear case dealing with constitutionality of law, case involving the law and treaties of the U.S., disputes between multiple states, etc. The district court has at least one judge, circuit courts have multiple judges, and the Supreme court has nine judges or “justices”.

These federal courts, or appellate courts, review decisions made by trial courts (Neubauer, 2010). Appellate courts can be on the federal and state level, but do not hold trials or hear new evidence. These courts consist of a judge, or a lawyer, or a group of either one, who read the transcript of the trial and whether the previous decision correctly or incorrectly followed the law (Neubauer, 2010). Similar to trial courts, the federal government and most states have made two different types of appellate courts: intermediate, which hear all cases, and supreme courts, which can pick and choose the cases heard (Neubauer, 2010). Even though there are many different types of courts within the judicial system of the United States, the role of the judge stays constant throughout the majority of branches.</p></div><div
