What is the difference between an inferior court and a superior court? Which of the following is correct? a) An inferior court hears only civil matters whereas a superior court is able to hear criminal matters as well as civil matters. b) Inferior courts do not follow the normal adversarial processes; they are more like tribunals, whereas superior courts have an adversarial approach to the law. c) Superior courts are the federal courts; all state courts are inferior to those courts in the federal hierarchy. d) A superior court can hear any matter and any appeal from a court lower in the hierarchy. Superior courts are courts of record, unlike inferior courts.

What is the basic structure of the U.S. government?
Courts are at the crux of interpretation and development of legal doctrine. The U.S. judicial structure involves a system of state and federal courts that work in tandem to resolve legal disputes between two or more parties. A fundamental understanding of the law requires a firm grasp of the differences between these courts and how they operate.
