Answer to Question 1

Typically, the lowest-level courts in a given state are courts of limited jurisdiction, which have jurisdiction over relatively minor offenses and infractions. A traffic court fits in this category.
Next are the trial courts, also called courts of general jurisdiction, which try several types of cases. Courts of general jurisdiction are often county-level courts and are frequently called
superior courts. At the next highest level are the intermediate appellate courts; verdicts from courts of general jurisdiction are appealed to these courts. Finally, each state has its own state
supreme court, the highest court in the state.
