Answer 2

State courts

1. Because most crimes are violations of state or local law, most criminal cases are heard in state court.
2. State courts, in addition to criminal cases, hear:

• Divorce and custody proceedings are examples of family law cases.
• Cases involving estates
• Cases of personal injury
• Contract disagreements
• Disputes over real estate

Federal courts

1. The federal court system was established by the United States Constitution and is often referred to as "limited jurisdiction" courts.
2. This is due to the fact that federal courts can only hear cases that they have been specifically authorised to hear.
3. Federal courts may hear some of the same cases as state courts, including criminal cases, but they must be governed by federal law.
4. Federal courts hear cases in which:

• The United States is a defendant in the case.
• The case is about federal law or the Constitution.
• The case involves parties from various states.
• Bankruptcy, intellectual property, patent, and maritime law

One major difference between the state and federal courts is that cases involving state law are heard in state courts, while cases involving federal law are heard in federal courts.
