The document provides instructions for a quiz on the judicial branch and legal system. It includes questions about the state and federal court systems, the four types of law, and sources of law. Students are asked to draw diagrams of the state and federal court pyramids, list the four types of law, identify the source of law that is not where laws come from, and answer multiple choice questions about appeals processes and original jurisdiction.

The structure of the federal and state court systems is very
similar. At both levels, trials will begin in the court of original
jurisdiction. An appeal of the trial decision would go to an
appellate court, or court of appeals. After the state level court
of appeals comes the state-level court of last resort. Many states
name their highest court a "supreme court," but not all. The U.S.
Supreme Court is the highest court, or the court official authority
over all other courts, state or federal. This court may hear not
only cases from federal courts of appeal, but also cases
appealed from a state's supreme court
