What is the difference between a county supreme court and a regular county court?
(in the US) There is no such distinction. There are only STATE Supreme Courts (one per state) and the U.S. Supreme Court. EXCEPT in New York State, where each county outside of New York City has both a County Court and a Supreme Court (and also a Family Court and a Surrogate's Court). In most counties, the Supreme Court hears civil cases and the County Court hears civil cases, but this can vary a bit by county. See the related links for more info. While in most states the state Supreme Court is the highest state court and hears appeals from lower courts such as County Courts, the highest state court in New York is called the Court of Appeals.
What is the local Supreme Court called?
There is no "local" supreme court in the United States, unless you're referring to the state supreme courts. Most states use the state name and the words "supreme court" to designate their highest appellate court, as in "[State] Supreme Court" or "Supreme Court of [State]"; however, a few states, such as New York and Texas, uses different naming conventions. In New York, the supreme courts are the state trial courts, and the New York Court of Appeals is the highest appellate court. Texas has two final appellate courts to handle its massive caseload. The Supreme Court of Texas reviews civil and juvenile appeals, while the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals is their highest court for criminal cases.
