Thanks so much for your time in breaking these things down! It helped give me a better understanding of the federal courts position in the court system!
This is a huge help in my tutoring of my brother, who is taking a US Gov't class in college. Thanks so much for making it available for everyone! And for explaining it so clearly!
Thank you so much for explaining this the way you did. By breaking it down this way you where the only one i was able to understand i cant thank you enough!
You did a better job of explaining it than those clowns on some of the other channels with millions of subscribers, who are more interested in cracking stupid jokes than explaining the subject matter coherently.
awesome. because I hear '9th circuit' alot with all this gun control foolishness going on (here in Washington State) I just thought there might be a map of that someplace. Random pick on your video. What an eye opener, and my view of the court system has been widened to say the least. Thanks. Will continue my education.
Thank you! suddenly this has become so relevant to learn (I'm Canadian) with the temporary halt to Trump's immigration ban. I was surprised that a judge could move against the President.
I'm American and I didn't know how this worked until I watched the video either lol. You pretty much have to take advanced level government classes to learn any of this stuff anymore
Very clear. Thanks! Does the ruling of any fed court (aside from SC) apply to ALL the US or just the geographic region that that court covers? Oftentimes I hear for example "a federal judge forced a specific ruling nationwide ...etc".
If a case from a district court deals with international trade, patents, etc, does this mean that its appeal would immediately fall under the jurisdiction of the court of appeals for the federal circuit (and ONLY the federal circuit)? Or can the 9th court of appeals, for example, deal with a patent case from the northern district court of California (although it also falls under the jurisdiction of the federal circuit)?
Thank you for breaking down the system into easy to understand segments. I would note, however, that the Supreme Court doesn't only hear appeals. It sometimes acts as a court of original jurisdiction.
Thank you for your comment, Linda. You are correct that the SCOTUS also has original jurisdiction over some matters. I go over that briefly in one of my other videos: "11. Supreme Court (an explanation of the Supreme Court's role in the federal court system)."
Eugene Kim Fantastic more videos! I'm taking an online college and the textbook leaves out info and poorly explains concepts. (I'm usually an A student) Your video was very helpful and I appreciate your time and sharing. Thank you so much. I will look forward to watching more of your videos. I'm sharing the links with my classmates too. Best wishes,
A municipal court is part of the state court system, not the federal court system. A municipal court's role is similar to that of the superior court described in my video of the state court system, except that it usually only handles matters related to parking and traffic offenses or violations of city ordinances (as opposed to state laws).
then what are the state courts? where do they come in or are they the same as the district courts? thanks for this video btw. I learned more than in my 2 hour lecture
State courts operate separately and are not part of the federal court system (though most state court systems are organized quite similarly to the federal court system). Whether a case should be decided by a state court or a federal court can depend on a number of things, including whether the law at issue is a state law or federal law, where the parties reside, or sometimes even the amount in controversy. You can learn more about how state courts are organized in another one of my videos: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dtWy8TpdVv0.html
