ABSTRACT

The US Supreme Court does have a policy of releasing audio recordings of its oral arguments. Major US Supreme Court cases are usually handed down each week the Court is in session from the first Monday in October until late June or early July. Attorneys, judges, legal experts and even US Presidents sometimes hurl criticism and scorching comments at the press for what they perceive as weak, inaccurate, and even distorted coverage of court cases. Each state has its own, and there is an independent federal judicial system. All federal judges must adhere to the Code of Conduct for United States Judges, which includes seven canons as well as other guidelines and principles for ethical conduct. No state or federal court has the authority to render a judgment unless it has both jurisdiction and venue in the case. In civil cases in state courts, lawsuits can be distinguished as either transitory or local.
