Задание IV The Judicial System of the USA The Constitution written about two hundred years ago is the foundation of the government of the USA. It divides power among the legislative, judicial and executive branches of the government. The third branch of the government is judicial. The Supreme Court is the highest judicial organ of the USA. It sits in the Supreme Court Building in Washington. The words “Equal Justice Under Law” arc written above the main entrance of the building. The Supreme Court consists of the Chief Justice of the USA and eight Associate Justices. They are all appointed by the President and approved by the Senate. The Supreme Court has the right to declare unconstitutional any law passed by the Congress or any other issued by the President. The right of veto is widely used. The USA is divided into eleven judicial circuits and each one is served with a Federal Court of Appeals. There are about ninety district courts in different parts of the country. The district courts are the lowest ones-in the Federal Court system. Most of the criminal and civil cases are tried by these courts/ In the district court where trials are held, juries are used and witnesses are called. 9 .Cases tried in the district court may be appealed in one of the eleven Courts of Appeal and in the Supreme Court. The decision of the Supreme Court is final. In the US the judiciary is divided into the federal and state judiciary. Jurisdiction of particular courts or judges is determined by either the national or state constitutions and laws. In most of the states the lowest courts are the magistrates or police courts.
