Faye files a suit in a state court against gas station stop, claiming employment discrimination. gas station loses the suit and appeals. after the state's highest court's review of faye v. gas station stop, either party can appeal the decision to the united states supreme court if

Either party can appeal if the law practice in question is in any way connected to a breach of the federal law as perceived by one of the sides. If it's not connected to federal law then it cannot be appealed at the supreme court because local state issues that are not related to the federal law are only resolved by state circuit and appellate courts.

Interpreting the results of his experiment : )

i think you are talking about the image i am uploading. then let's see who is who and based on that, let's answer your question about what section represents the state-level courts.

who is who:

box a: state trial courts box b: intermediate appellate courts   box c: state supreme courts box d: u.s. supreme court box e: u.s. courts of appeals box f: u.s district courts

which section represent state-level courts?

the correct answer is a, b, c.

box a or state trial courts are the bottom level and they decided about the 95% of the nation's legal cases.box b or intermediate appellate courts (also called state court of appeals in some states) are the second level above trial courts. they have the authority to review decisions and judgments of the trial court judges.box c or state supreme courts are the highest level in the u.s. state court system.   their primary responsibility consists of correcting the errors of the inferior state courts. they exclusively hears appeals on legal issues from inferior state courts. since state supreme courts do not make any finding of facts, they do not hold trials.
