Appeals from state courts can sometimes be heard in the federal courts. Higher-level courts can control the actions and decisions of lower courts, but not the other way around.

Within the contents of this essay, the judicial branch will be examined. The judicial branch of the United States government oversees justice throughout the country by expounding and applying laws by means of a court system.1 This system functions by hearing and determining the legality of such cases.2 Sitting at the top of the United States court system is the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court of the United States encompasses the federal judiciary, explicitly the judicial branch. This court is comprised of life-long serving Justices who are selected by the President of the United States and approved by the Senate.3 Cooperatively,</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1512 Words</li><li>7 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/The-Judicial-Branch-F3CCWVGYTJ">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-good-essays"><div><span>Good 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/Judicial-Branch-The-Governments-Ear-F36NQPYTC" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Judicial Branch: The Government's Ear Essay</h2></a><ul><li>1137 Words</li><li>5 Pages</li><li>6 Works Cited</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/Judicial-Branch-The-Governments-Ear-F36NQPYTC" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Judicial Branch: The Government's Ear Essay</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">The Judicial Branch is the balancing factor of the Government. It is the listener of the people of the US and it decides on all matters regarding the people. It "interprets the nation's law" (World Book 141). Being able to interpret the law gives the Judicial branch a special kind of power. One of which the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch do not possess. The Judicial branch decides when a law has been broken, to what extent, and how to punish the criminal act. And that is what makes it the strongest branch.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>1137 Words</li><li>5 Pages</li><li>6 Works Cited</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/Judicial-Branch-The-Governments-Ear-F36NQPYTC">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay11"><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/The-Separation-of-Powers-and-Checks-and-PKJ6V7USVJ" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">The Separation of Powers and Checks and Balances Essay</h2></a><ul><li>518 Words</li><li>3 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/The-Separation-of-Powers-and-Checks-and-PKJ6V7USVJ" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">The Separation of Powers and Checks and Balances Essay</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">The Judicial branch is in charge of reviewing decisions and understanding federal laws. It is in charge of explaining the laws and having the power to decide if the laws are constitutional (Brand). The Judicial Branch is different from the other branches because, the members are appointed by the president and then approved by the Senate. This branch provides a comfort for the citizens to understand that the branches are dedicated to maintain equality and make sure they are fair laws. Even though, the judicial branch doesn’t have much power, it is just as important as the other two branches.</p></div><div class="columns large-1-5 position-relative show-for-large card-grade-essay-words-col"><ul><li>518 Words</li><li>3 Pages</li></ul></div><div class="columns large-2 show-for-large position-relative card-grade-essay-grade-col grade-satisfactory-essays"><div><span>Satisfactory 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/The-Separation-of-Powers-and-Checks-and-PKJ6V7USVJ">Read More</a></div></div></li><li id="related-essay12"><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-good-essays"><div><span>Good 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/Women-And-The-Supreme-Court-P3BDECENLMWW" class="hide-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Women And The Supreme Court</h2></a><ul><li>1490 Words</li><li>6 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/Women-And-The-Supreme-Court-P3BDECENLMWW" class="show-for-large"><h2 class="heading-s weight-700 brand-secondary">Women And The Supreme Court</h2></a></div><p class="text-m break-word word-break text-ellipsis-after text-ellipsis-after">In this paper, I will discuss a number of topics regarding woman and the Supreme Court from historical precedents to objective research to the importance of female judges and Justices and finally to the possibilities of the future.
