| | United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In some states, supreme and lower court justices are elected by the people; in others, they are appointed, as they are in the federal system. | | | The United States also holds several other territories, districts and possessions, notably the federal district of the District of Columbia, which is the nation's capital, and several overseas insular areas, the most significant of which are Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and the United States Virgin Islands. | | | Each state maintains its own judiciary, with the lowest level typically being county courts, and culminating in each state supreme court, though sometimes named differently. |
