Task 1. Read the text and mark the statements as true (T) and false (F):

The Court System in the USA

The only court the United States Constitution creates is the Supreme court- the highest court in
the country. The Constitution also allows the Congress to create other courts.
Here’s the confusing part: There are two systems of courts in the United States. The federal court
system deals with disputes about laws that apply to the entire United States.
State court systems mostly deal with disputes about state laws. Each state has its own court
system created by its own state constitution. Whether people take their case to a federal or state
court depends on the laws involved in the case. The good news is that state court systems usually
work just like the federal court system. Each court system deals with certain kinds of cases.
Federal courts hear cases involving federal laws, the U.S. Constitution, or disputes between
citizens of different states. State courts hear cases involving state laws or the state’s constitution.
They also deal with disagreements between citizens of the state. State courts normally resolve
the kinds of issues you hear about in everyday life, such as family matters, accidents, crimes, and
traffic violations.

1. The United States Supreme court reviews criminal cases. T

2. The Congress judges criminal cases. F
3. The Supreme Court has an exclusive authority over federal cases. T

5. State Courts reviews family disputes, criminal cases and traffic violations. T
