Judicial Federalism

Judicial federalism refers to the division of judicial authority between national and state courts in a federal system, like that of the United States. It highlights how both levels of government can create and interpret laws. The U.S. Constitution establishes federal courts, while states have their own court systems. This arrangement allows for a balance: federal courts handle national issues, while state courts address local matters. It also means that individuals can seek justice in either system, leading to varying interpretations of laws and rights across different jurisdictions.
