Distinguish between the federal court hierarchy and the state court hierarchy . By: Ali Younis Introduction: Australia is a federation and as a result there are two levels of law that apply: state and federal law. The Australian constitution grants certain legal powers to the commonwealth (Federal) Government and others to the state and territory governments. Consequently there are separate state and federal jurisdictions, each having it’s own court structure.

Introduction The United States judicial system is unmatched and made of two separate court systems: the state and the federal court systems. Although state and federal court systems have the responsibilities of hearing certain kinds of cases, neither one is exclusively independent of the other and the two systems frequently interact. Although the two courts systems are different, the key goal of the two courts is to resolve any legal dispute and vindicate legal rights (Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, n.d.). The purpose of this paper is to discuss the differences between the state court systems and the federal court systems. Every state has its own independent judicial system and in the judicial system the higher courts is the authority concerning the law with regard to state laws and the states viewpoint.
