Court systems refer to the hierarchical structure of judicial bodies—such as trial courts, appellate courts, and supreme courts—that interpret and apply law, resolve disputes, and adjudicate criminal and civil cases. Understanding court systems is essential for lawyers, paralegals, judges, and court clerks who navigate jurisdictional rules, procedures, and case filings. Knowledge of federal versus state court structures is particularly important in the U.S. legal system.
