  • First, you need to see American Federalism to get an idea that the power of the law is divided between the States and the Federal government. Second, you should know that the states are allowed to set up different structures and procedures for their courts, and they do. Just about everything mentioned here about state courts will vary from state to state. Third, you should know that as a former British colony, the United States uses The Common Law system at both the federal and state level (with the exception of Louisiana, which, being a former French colony, uses civil law except in criminal proceedings). This has a strong effect on how courts are set up and what they are and are not allowed to do.
