Answer to Question 2

Most state courts have the following four levels of courts: trial courts of limited jurisdiction, trial courts of general jurisdiction, intermediate appellate courts, and a court of last resort. State trial courts of limited jurisdiction hear misdemeanors and other small matters and may also conduct the preliminary stages of felony case processing (e.g., preliminary hearings). State trial courts of general jurisdiction have the legal authority to decide all matters not specifically delegated to the lower courts. Felony cases, for example, are heard in trial courts of general jurisdiction. Courts of intermediate appeals usually must hear all properly filed appeals. Decisions made at this level are often final for most cases. Unlike their appellate counterparts, state courts of last resort usually exercise a great deal of discretion in deciding which appeals will be heard; very few appeals are accepted.
