Understanding Federal Courts

Read and review “Understanding the Federal Courts” from the Administrative Office of U.S. Courts (online report), available at: https://www.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/understanding-federal-courts.pdf  (Links to an external site.) Specifically, read pp. 1-22 (“Individual Courts” only on p. 21), and pp. 26-28.   Review information online about the Superior Court of California. Specifically, investigate the “About Us” tab for the County of San Diego available at: http://www.sdcourt.ca.gov/portal/page?_pageid=55,1635921&_dad=portal&_schema=PORTAL  (Links to an external site.)   Compare, contrast, and cross-reference.   After reviewing the two outside resources “Understanding the Federal Courts” and “About Us” for the Superior Court of California – San Diego, you will reflect on similarities and differences between the federal and state court systems, cross-reference your reading this week, especially Chapter 3 (the Court System), and fill out and submit a completed version of the table below.  You will earn 1 point of credit for every similarity or difference you identify between the federal and state systems, and another 1 point for every cross reference between either outside resource and your text.  As this assignment is worth up to 15 points,  you need to identify a minimum of 15 compare/contrasts and/or cross-references for a max score. This may appear complicated, but it really isn’t!  For example, in the first line below that I have provided as Example 1, I would receive 1 point for contrasting the “Installation of judges” in the federal system and the state system, and another 1 point for providing a page cite to the text that discusses the same issue (i..e, a total of 2 points for line 1).  And in the second line below that I have provided as Example 2, I would receive 1 point for cross-referencing the geographic boundaries of the federal courts of appeals between “Understanding the Federal Courts” and our text.
