WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE U.S. SUPREME COURT AND THE LOUISIANA SUPREME COURT?
The U.S. Supreme Court is a federal court while the Louisiana Supreme Court is a state court. The U.S. Supreme Court is the highest court of appeal in our country. It has the final word on all laws and on the Constitution itself. A chief justice and eight associate justices, all appointed by the president, serve on the U.S. Supreme Court.
