In the US the judicial system is presented by state, county, city and federal courts. The right to be trialed by jury is provided by the Constitution. Each type of court has its own jurisdiction. Both civil and criminal cases are first heard in trial courts. There is a right to appeal against the court's decision in a court of appeal (a superior court or a district court). Many states have family courts. There are small claims courts which deal with small amounts of money.
Most states have a supreme court where the most serious appeals are held. States have their own criminal code. Some crimes are federal offences. They may fall under federal jurisdiction if more than one state is involved.
Most courts have only one judge. Some higher courts have several judges. In the US Supreme Court the nine judges are called justices. Cases are represented by lawyers called attorneys-at-law. In a criminal trial the defendant is represented by
a defense attorney. The court can appoint a public defender. The prosecution is led by an assistant district attorney or, in federal cases, by a federal attorney.
