State Courts

State courts are judicial bodies that handle legal disputes within a specific state. They primarily address issues such as criminal cases, family matters (like divorce and custody), and civil disputes (like contracts and personal injuries). Each state has its own system of courts, typically composed of trial courts, appellate courts, and a state supreme court. State courts interpret and apply state laws, ensuring justice at a local level. They play a crucial role in upholding the rights of citizens and resolving conflicts in society.
