Court cases (U.S.)

U.S. court cases are legal disputes brought before a court for resolution. They involve parties—such as individuals, organizations, or the government—who have conflicting interests or alleged violations of the law. The court reviews evidence, hears arguments, and interprets laws or the Constitution to make a decision, which may result in rulings like judgments, sentences, or rights being granted or denied. Cases can start in different courts (federal or state) and may be appealed if parties disagree with the decision. These proceedings establish legal precedents, shaping how laws are understood and applied across the country.
