At the top of each system is the Supreme Court - the U.S. Supreme Court for federal cases and the Florida Supreme Court for state cases. Below the Supreme Courts are intermediate appellate courts and trial courts, with the district/circuit courts being intermediate appellate courts and county/district courts being trial courts that handle more minor cases.
