The state Courts of Appeal review and render decisions on cases appealed to them from the lower circuits of the state court system. No actual jury trials are held at this level, they simply review the cases for legal sufficiency and render a verdict either affirming them or remanding them back to the lower courts for re-trial. State Supreme Courts hear all cases which have been appealed past the circuit court and appelate levels and - like the appeals court - no jury trials are held in front of them either although the opposing lawyers for both sides can appear and deliver their respective arguments. Cases appealed to the state Supreme Court have reached their highest level at this point and the State Supreme Court's decision is final and binding. Cases can move out of the state courts system into the Federal court system ONLY if the case involves or contains some over-riding interest in, or conflict with, Federal law.
