Federal and State Court Systems: A Guide
February 9, 2023 @ 2:30 pm - 5:30 pm
$15.00
Federal and State Court Systems: A Guide (or “A Law School Semester in 150 Minutes”) will take place February 9, 2:30-5:30p.m., at the Oma Town Hall.
The news is full of high-profile stories about Supreme Court decisions like Roe v. Wade, yet only a small fraction of applications actually make it to the Supreme Court in Washington, D.C. Most cases are decided on a more local level–county and state courts. Discover how these courts work and how cases move through them in this fascinating class with lawyer Sam Filippo.
Topics covered include:
- Creation of the Judicial Power: The Judiciary Act of 1789 and the Early Courts
- State Courts: Structure and Jurisdiction
- Grand Juries and Petit Juries
- The Federal System: District Courts; Courts of Appeals; The United States Supreme Court; Special Courts
Instructor: Sam Filippo
