User:LizArchive/Supreme Court of the United States

The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) is the highest court in the United States. It has jurisdiction over all local, state, and national courts. More specifically, it deals with "all Cases affecting Ambassadors, other public Ministers and Consuls, and those in which a State shall be Party". Due to the lack of lower courts, the Supreme Court has original jurisdiction upon all judicial matters.
