American Judicial System

The American judicial system is the framework that interprets and applies the law through courts. It includes federal and state courts, each with jurisdiction over specific matters. Courts resolve disputes, determine guilt or innocence, and interpret laws and the Constitution. The system is structured with trial courts (where cases start), appellate courts (review legal decisions), and a supreme court at both federal and state levels, which has the final say on constitutional issues. Judges and juries play roles in ensuring justice, rights are protected, and laws are applied fairly and consistently.
