State courts are the judicial systems at the state level, responsible for interpreting state laws and constitutions and handling most criminal and civil cases.
State courts affect daily life through criminal justice, civil disputes, and interpretation of state laws and regulations.
State courts aren't inferior to federal courts—they have separate jurisdictions and equal authority over state law matters.
