Operation of the United States Courts

The United States court system operates as a multi-tiered structure to resolve disputes and uphold the law. It includes federal and state courts, each with specific jurisdictions. Federal courts handle issues related to federal law, while state courts manage state law cases. At the top is the Supreme Court, which reviews important legal questions. Courts ensure fair trials via a judge, and often juries, who interpret evidence and apply the law. The system aims to protect rights, maintain order, and provide justice, with an emphasis on impartiality and adherence to the Constitution.
