The case of allan v. adam was tried first in a court of first instance. the case was appealed to the intermediate state court of appeals. both the intermediate and state supreme courts upheld the original decision. what is the next step within the state appellate court system for this case if the lawyers want to appeal again?
a.
it goes to the district court.
b.
it would go to the state supreme court.
c.
it goes to the united states supreme court.
d.
there are no more courts of appeal within the state system.

The correct answer is C. The United States Supreme Court. The Supreme Court of the United States in Washington, D.C. is the highest court in the nation. The Justices of the Supreme Court are most likely to take cases that will affect the entire country, not just the individuals involved. They want to clarify legal issues that are important to as many people as possible, so they take cases that will have a large constitutional impact, or that answer important legal questions that affect the whole nation. The Supreme Court only takes cases from state courts when the appeal involves the U.S. Constitution. Thus, the person making the appeal must show that his or her rights, under the Bill of Rights, were denied by the state, or that some error was made in the court that affected their due process rights.
