Supreme Court Cases

The Supreme Court is the highest court in the United States. It serves, by in large, as an appellate jurisdiction. In cases where the United States is a party or in cases involving an ambassador or public ministers, the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction.

There are 94 District Courts and the Court of Appeals is divided up into four main sections: Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, 12 Courts of Appeals, Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and State Courts of Last Appeal.
