U.S. Courts

The United States of America embraces the dual court system making it one of the most effective and efficient countries in the world in judicial matters. The system allows for a federal court system and state court systems which are subsequently broken down into different multiple levels that aid in handling criminal and civil matters (U.S. Courts, 2017). The primary role of the Federal courts is the interpretation of the constitution. Federal courts are essentially established under the US constitution with the mandate to resolve disputes that involve the laws passed by congress and other disputes that touch on the US constitution. The state courts on the other hand are established by the individual states that form the United States of America and provide judicial service in deciding civil and criminal cases within their areas of jurisdiction.

The two courts are structurally similar in the sense that they both have an elaborate structure based on superiority that allows for the appealing of cases. The federal court system for instance has The US Supreme court at the apex followed by US courts of appeals (made up of 13 appellate circuits responsible for reviewing the decisions of federal district courts). At the very bottom are the US District courts that hear civil and criminal cases. The state courts are similarly structured with the State Supreme courts being at the apex, followed by state courts of appeal and then state circuit courts.

 

Primary differences exist between the federal and states levels of jurisdiction based on two major factors, jurisdiction limitation and the number and type of cases handled. Based on jurisdiction limitations, state courts have a broader jurisdiction implying that most cases involving the US citizens are heard in this court whereas federal courts have a limited jurisdiction in the sense that they only handle cases listed in the constitution that include lawsuits against the state, bankruptcy, patents and cases involving parties of different states (Bator, 1980). Based on the number of cases handled, state courts by far handle a larger number of cases since they have a more direct contact with the public as opposed to federal courts who hear lesser cases and often of greater national importance. The importance of having these different levels is that such a structure allows for efficiency by reliving higher judicial organs of workloads besides enhancing autonomy for the different courts thus limiting federal or state interference in cases. The structure is also ideal in enhancing justice by limiting the monopoly of judicial powers say by the federal courts.
