Court Systems Paper
U.S. Courts: The Federal Judiciary
The United States court system is composed of numerous sections of bodies of law that function together to ensure justness is served in fulfillment with the United States Constitution, federal, state and local laws. These organizations include law enforcement, the courts and, correction system all of which have a legitimate responsibility to maintain the American Peoples trust. I am a strong advocate for our court system, although it can use some fine-tuning every level of Justice could stand some improvement but that takes time, commitment and the right officials in office.
The court system was formed to separate the innocent from the guilty when a disparity has surfaced or developed. In the criminal justice system everyone is entitled to a fair and unbiased trial. We will be identifying and describing the distinguishing features of the major court system ranging from state level, superior court and federal district court through the U.S. Supreme Court. Second we will discuss the key players, jurisdiction rules, and interpretation on issues and the effect of evolving technologies on the court proceeding at all levels in the court system.
Major Court System State Level:
Within the U.S. each state has a court system with a lower court, an appellate court and a Supreme Court that functions similar to the Supreme Court of the U.S. Four levels exist within the State Court: The lower court also known as the court of limited Jurisdiction which represents the first level in which minor cases are seen. Citizens whom are accused of not paying parking fines, those accused of prostitution, DUI and those accused of disorderly conduct in public are also tried in this court. The second state court is the general jurisdiction of Criminal Courts these include the district court, circuit court, superior court or county court.
