Answer:
The Federal Court System
The Supreme Court - the highest court in the nation, hears some specific cases, and also hears appeals on constitutional law. It also has the power to exercise judicial review on the two other branches of the federal government: the Congress and the President.
U.S. Courts of Appeals - These courts hear many appeals, especially those related to orders issued by federal agencies.
Special Federal Courts - these courts hear specific cases on taxes, trade policy, immigration policy, and so on.
U.S. District Courts - the lowest federal courts, but still powerful. Hears cases related to violations of federal law.
The State Court System
State supreme courts - these courts are the equivalent to the U.S. Supreme court but on a state level. They usually hear appeals from lower state courts.
Superior courts - these courts hear the most complicated cases, for example, trials.
Special courts - like special federal courts, they are dedicated to hear specific type of cases: family courts, housing courts, divorce courts, and so on.
County and municipal courts - these are the lowest courts of the state system, and they hear simple cases.
