Abstract
The American system of justice is unique. A federal system, 50 different states, plus 2 commonwealths, 2 territories and protectorates, not to mention a military justice system. Each has its own design, procedures, and peculiarities. To profile all would require a hefty volume, but it is important to understand the basic framework shared by all, its demands and requirements.
