What is the hierarchial organization of the federal courts and when and how they may review state cases?

Federal Courts are divided as follows: District Courts (like state trial courts) then Appellate Court (like state Court of Appeals) and then the Supreme Court (the one and only.)


As stated before, state Supreme Courts are directly appeallable to the Supreme Court HOWEVER that doesnt mean they will be granted cert.


I believe there are other cases in which state claims are directly appealable but I don't know off the top of my head.What is the hierarchial organization of the federal courts and when and how they may review state cases?

Any case from the highest state court can be appealed directly to the Supreme Court.
