state court structure

Although some similarities exist, generally speaking each of the fifty states of the United States has its own unique court structure. While forty-nine of the fifty states have legal systems based on the English common law tradition (Louisiana, the exception, reflects its French history and has a civil law legal system), each also has a unique cultural, historical, and legal tradition, and there are also variations in the structural and procedural mechanisms whereby each state administers justice.
