What is the difference between federal courts and state courts?

Federal courts have limited jurisdiction and only hear matters involving federal questions and constitutional matters. State courts have jurisdiction over state laws.

What is the state court?

State courts are courts of general jurisdiction. They hear all the cases not specifically selected for federal courts. Just as the federal courts interpret federal laws, state courts interpret state laws. Each state gets to make and interpret its own laws.

Are state court decisions final?

State courts are typically bound by the decisions issued by the higher courts in that state. For example, California trial courts are bound by the opinions issued by the California courts of appeals and the California Supreme Court.
