The US court system, as part of the federal system of government, is characterized by dual hierarchies; there are both state and federal courts. Each state has its own system of courts,composed of civil and criminal trial courts, sometimes intermediate courts of appeal, and a state supreme court. The federal court system consists of a series of trial courts (called district courts) serving relatively small geographic regions (there is at least one for every state), a tier (系列, 等级) of circuit (巡回) courts of appeal that hear appeals from many district courts in a particular geographic region, and the Supreme Court of the United States. The two court systems are to some extent overlapping, in that certain kinds of disputes (such as a claim that a state law is in violation of the Constitution) may be initiated in either system. They are also to some extent hierarchical, for the federal system stands above the state system in that litigants (诉讼当事人) (persons engaged in lawsuits) who lose their cases in the state supreme court may appeal their cases to the Supreme Court of the United States.
Thus, the typical court case begins in a trial court—a court of general jurisdiction (司法) in the state or federal system. Most cases go no further than the trial court: for example, the criminal defendant is convicted (by a trial or a guilty plea) and sentenced by the court and the case ends; the personal injury suit results in a judgment by a trial court [or an out-of-court settlement by the parties while the court suit is pending (悬而未决的)] and the parties leave the court system. But sometimes the losing party at the trial court care enough about the course that the matter does not end there. In these cases, the "loser" at the trial court may appeal to the next higher court.
The passage indicates that litigants who lost their cases in the state trial court may take them to a______.
选项
A、different trial court in the same state
B、court in a different geographic region
C、federal trial court
D、state supreme court
答案
D
解析
文中第一段最后一句中说:“……诉讼当事人(涉及法律案件的人)在州最高法院败诉后可以上诉到美国最高法院。”结合第二段最后一句,“在这些案件中,在初审法院的‘失败者’可以向上一级法院提出上诉”,我们可以推断出,如果一个人在美国的州初审法院败诉后,他可以向州的最高法院提出上诉。如果他在州的最高法院也败诉了,他还可以上诉到美国最高法院。由此可以看出,答案D正确。
