Jane's letter
(continued)
«...You asked me to tell some words about the judicial system of the USA. Though I'm not a specialist in
this field I'll try to do my best. The Supreme Court is the highest judicial organ of the US and it meets in the
Supreme Court Building in Washington. It's a beautiful building of white marble. Above the main entrance the
words are written «Equal Justice Under Law». 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 Congress or any order issued by the President.
This right of veto is widely used to block the passage of any progressive bills. The USA is divided into eleven
judicial circuits and each one is served with a Federal Court of Appeals. As a rule the Court of Appeals sits
with three judges on the bench. There are about ninety district courts in different parts of the United States. The
district courts are the lowest ones in the Federal court system. Most of the criminal and civil cases are tried by
these courts. The district court is the only Federal court where trials are held, juries are used, and witnesses are
called. There are about two hundred district judges in the USA. 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. The state courts are organized in a system that
looks like the system of Federal courts with a Supreme Court at the top. In most of the states the lowest courts
are the magistrates, or police courts...»
