Structure of the Court System: Crash Course Government and Politics #19
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- In which Craig Benzine talks about the structure of the U.S. court system and how exactly it manages to keep things moving smoothly. You'll learn about trial courts, district courts, appeals courts, circuit courts, state supreme courts, and of course the one at the top - the U.S. Supreme Court. It’s all quite a bit to manage with jurisdictions and such, but it's important to remember that the vast majority of cases never even make it to court! Most are settled out of court, but also terms like mootness and ripeness are used to throw cases out altogether. Today, we're going to focus on how cases make it to the top, and next week we’ll talk about what happens when they get there.

I love how efficient these videos are. They get the point across without overloading or deviating from the message. Keep up the awesome work!
Except for the fact that almost every subject he comes across he says " we'll get to that later" which gets rather annoying since he never covers completely. I get these videos are just to get the general idea but I feel these government ones are just to important and should probably have more info. The videos are less than 7 mins for Petes sake
stenbak88 It probably bothers me less than you because I did my bachelor's in political science so the blanks are already filled in my head. But I can see where it bugs you.
stenbak88 Keep in mind that once the series is complete you will be able to hear about it right after you finish watching the video. Besides, there are several other sources to go if you'd like to learn more than what was presented. Sure, it is harder to do that and takes more time, but that is the trade off between what Crash Course offers and what you can get from more informative sources.
These videos are also great for people that have already learned the subject. I've used the Chemistry series to brush up what I already know.
PrimevalDragon Crash course not only taught me in a year what my schooling failed to do in 5, but inspired a passion for learning. The first true teacher that inspired me. I'm a better person for it and can feel it.
Johny Kidd I'm glad you found a teacher who inspires you. I've been into politics since I was 9 years old, so I just naturally loved it. But it's always my hope that more people will be inspired to love it. I hope you continue to learn great things.
It would be perfect if you spoke a little bit slower... this videos are very useful also for foreign students (like me) but it's not easy to follow your explanations if you speak so fast
Just go in your setting on the video and lower the playback speed, works every time!
Hank Green doesn't make it into the hierarchy?
Who the eff is Hank?
***** A small asteroid that orbits the sun in an ellipitical orbit and takes nine hundred years to complete a single lap.
ArmageddonAngel I think he was probs referring to the arts and humanities crash course which is John's thing
ArmageddonAngel Not the Indianapolis hierarchy. There's a separate hierarchy for the Missoula office.
ArmageddonAngel I assumed he was one of the Ninja Turtles.
I freaking love Crash Course. I always come here to get quick TLDW/Rs on all sorts of important political, economic, and historical information. This will be a jewel for people in the future.
+1
Can't agree you more
future speaking "this is awesome"!!!
the reference to unbreakable kimmy schmidt was fantastic.
i love how the only reason i watched this because we are in a lockdown now COVID19
lucky, this is a civics assignment for me
I’m watching all of them on 1.25x speed to cram for my AP Government exam
Learn something
ikr
As a political science major I'm loving this series !
Are you guys going to make a Crash Course Physics soon? I think it would be very helpful. Please thumbs up if you agree !
Gotta love a Drake reference
That had me cracking up!
Love these videos! Hope they do a criminal justice crash course soon!
Bro slow down
I cannot stop looking at the eagle. What did you do to deserve such treatment!?
Felipe Merino Echavarríia If it makes you feel better, it was probably made in China.
+flintstoned, that comment made my day.
it was not the mongols
Flintstoned OMG LOL
@@Thumbsupurbum Felipe?
Im laughing at the turtles all the way down references. Nicely placed.
"So thoughtful. So bubbly."
That one cracked me up. :-D
TURTLES ALL THE WAY DOWN REFERENCE?!?!
two years before the book came out
Hey! Kimmy Schmidt reference!
Same Reaction I Had
Kimmy Schmidt and Lisa's Florida costume.
Craig.. you are my favourite host now. You're hilarious. I hope you do other courses once this one is done.
Great information but too fast!
Questions for ms. Adays class
1. State courts
2. State courts have 2 levels of appealed courts
3. Don’t have enough time/staff
4. They always accept in the midst of a circuit split
Loving the Simpsons reference 2 minutes in!
Oh, man. I lost it when you said, "As you probably remember, 'cause you're a smart rememberer of things." Well done, sir.
Your deadpan delivery is next level.
These are how I️m currently studying for my ap gov test tomorrow, but there was a “turtles all the way down” reference over 2 years before it came out. That just made my day
Awesome classic Simpsons reference. :D
"I'm not a state... I'm a MONSTER!"
Lisa's Florida Costume!!!
Guys, if he's speaking too fast for you, there's a speed feature. Use it.
Or if you can't do that, find another channel- it's called CRASH COURSE for a reason.
Thank you Craig for all the wonderful work!
I love you guys. Any chance you could do a crash course for the confusing Texas court system?
Just my observation, but the material seems to be blithely paced more to impress people than to provide good, actionable teaching/learning
waving that coffee mug around like there 's no coffee in it..
Ha! I love the Ralph Wiggum Florida costume!
I JUST realized what I always thought was a manta ray symbol on everything is Craig's beard..
How did I not find this channel earlier? Brilliant!
I like the presentation, but you speak too fast. Take a chill pill, mate.
I disagree, he speaks just fine. You need a keep-up pill.
You can lower the speed of the videos .. instead of having everyone else speed up their videos ..
I think the speed is good. I would rather have someone speak fast than speak slow.
For everyone saying no, think of people who aren’t very fluent and need to know this stuff. Get off your high horse and speed it up if you need to, maybe some people don’t know how to slow them down
@@kentcc he said "take a chill pill" that's not how you ask for help.
Please make a physics crash course based on the AP Physics exam. I really like these videos and would love it if there was one that I could use to study for physics.
my ap gov test is in 3 days thank u buddy. it doesnt hit all the points and have some stuff we didnt do (so it wont be on the test) but it was well explained
Our four levels of court are as follows:
1. Lower Peduma
2. Errors in the Law Peduma
3. Supreme Peduma
4. Federal Supreme Bribe Generating Agency
Judges are immune. No liability associated with attorney conduct. Their only "duty" is to state their own position - doesn't have to be audible. Read the Introduction to the LexisNexis Rules of Professional Conduct. Judges mostly misapply one part of the law onto another as abuse of discretion. Oral Agreement Law is misapplied everywhere. See Rules of Civil Procedure 15(4) - by a moment of silence an attorney can indicate to the judge that they agree with the other side without the knowledge of the party and against its will. Attorneys at the Capitol & White House channel billions to the judicial branch in return to favors such as arms deals kickbacks. In Family Court the judges appoint a state funded guardian ad litem who is paid a second time for the same services as the unbundled services of the same party without their knowledge and against their will. In Criminal Court public defenders and attorneys will prosecute an innocent party for money. The party will have served their sentence and will not be released from incarceration unless they admit to a crime they didn't commit.
Colorado constitution & statutes are enough to deter 99% of domestic assaults - so judges don't record hearings & prevent the victim from entering the courtroom upon sealing the case. You won't know how many times they've assaulted. The analyzed DNA samples of rapists is deleted before declaring them innocent for repeat business. Judges and attorneys uphold crime. The Clintons line their pockets by opening private prisons where they sheriff is remunerated per head, so the sheriff maintains crime too. Each time a homeless person gets incarcerated a judge and a public defender become richer while people's pension plans erode.
Innocent people are put in prison by misapplying Oral Agreement law. The judge "suggests" something and if both sides were silent for a split second - they entered an oral agreement with the judge to go to prison. Parties that go pro-se find that the judge will change the Register of Action on their case daily - making it impossible to appeal in their states. They are sent to Federal Appeals where they are declared insane and put in insane institutes as political prisoners - making the drug companies wealthier. Attorneys, doctors & bankers are self-regulating, just like in pre-Nazi times. One has your personal information, another can declare you dead or in need of mercy killing and the third has no liabilities associated with their profession.
Judge mislead court deputies by separating a hearing into several dates. The advisory and evidentiary parts aren't recorded. The ruling part contradicts both and is the only part recorded. Rules of Appeals #10 states that if only the recorded part of a hearing is submitted it is automatically valid. Court appointed transcribers are self-regulating and fraudulent transcripts are created.
Judges create a fly-by-night lay person "diagnosis" or "determinations." Incarceration is a money making strategy that prevents timely appeals. Sending kytes from jail takes forever, inmates have to use pencil and the judge intercepts those that might actually help them. They don't see their arrest warrants. Clerks are supervised by chief judges and judges endorse any arbitrary rulings.
Quarter million is the standard to purchase justice at divorces, probate, trust & damage law suits. If a judge moves next door to a person they can lose their home over a "barking" dog - whether a dog exists on their property or not. Attorneys enter the person's home and steal gold, diamonds, guns & social security cards & I.D.s. No kidding. Sounds fictional - but read the history of Nazi Germany and how current China, Russia & North Korea work. It is real.
Attorneys at the Capitol generate foreclosures to take advantage of confused homeowners by filing fraudulent QuitClaim Deeds with the clerk and recorder. The assessor doesn't know any better and gives them the titles.
On the last years in office attorney electives line the pockets of judges and attorneys for some personal gain by passing bad laws. For instance, Community Association Managers are allowed kickbacks from attorneys in contradiction to Corporation Law and following a 5 year sunshine report about kickbacks.
We need amendments to essentially disassemble a money guzzling counter productive judicial branch. I suggest: 29 - DORA regulated state employee magistrates only. No need to botch cases - no appeals. 30 - Clerks supervised by sheriffs, DORA & public. No justice department, no justices. 31 - No attorneys elected with the legislative branch. No electives eligible to attorney license.
No - I'm not a felon. I'm a licensed Real Estate Broker & Realtor, an owner of a conceal and carry, a graduate of the Boulder Citizen's Police Academy and the daughter of a family entrenched in Israeli politics. We have the same self-regulating/self-legislating judicial branch and when the Clintons took over we experienced a "Keyston scam" by which public assets turned into private property by judicial penmanship. My friends get stabbed and run over by terrorists every time the Clintons open more private prisons to generate arms deals kickbacks. This time the Clintons used the Obamas without even having to get elected.
I'm a lay person and I don't give legal advice. I know it is crystal clear from my writing but judges and attorneys are tyrannical, arbitrary and are "so concerned" for the public so they "don't get mislead". I know of people who got prosecuted. Anyone with a facebook page can be prosecuted for anything. Peduma style. I read the West Law Practice Series - all of the latest Peduma Rulings are there.
I am willing to take back anything I've said at any time. I'm willing to erase or correct anything I've said as I know that the law changes weekly as the Supreme Court responds to any and all threats to bribe schemes through the Court Improvement Committee - likely fed by my husband's attorney whenever I'm in appeals. The courts have been "improved" to the point where the Appeals Courts have generated every possible "error in the law" making it impossible for anyone to uphold their constitutional procedural rights there. The Supreme Court pedumas and changes the law weekly so if two paying attorneys are involved it will take decades to appeal anything. Federal appeals judges are immune and maintain corruption. Please vote NO to Judge Angela Arkin in 2016 - if people are still allowed to vote by then. Dedicated to attorney Bonnie Shields who remained silent on the issue of civil protection. Magistrate Moss stood up for me and because of her I don't have a permanent limp nor depend no pain killers or live on the streets.
I was looking for a video to help clear up the concepts for a test, and this was actually very helpful. But more importantly I got very happy when I saw that Craig a.k.a WheezyWaiter was host. :D Studying just got awwwesome!
Awesome video. I’m giving a speech in Brazil about the US court systems, and I’m stealing the avocado reference.
There are a number of errors in this video, including (in the first two minutes):
(1) Most states have two levels of appeals courts (an intermediate appellate court and a court "of last resort", usually called a "supreme" court), but guess what? So does the federal system. It has the same two level system as well. The video states otherwise, rather inexplicably.
(2) Saying that "appeals courts can refuse to hear cases" implies that appeals courts have discretion to hear a case or not. This is sometimes true and often not true. Many cases can be appealed as of right to at least one level of review--including all criminal cases. An appellate court cannot simply choose not to hear such appeals.
(3) The video claims that once an appellate court has refused to hear an appeal that the case is "done" and no further litigation is possible. This is only sometimes true. Ignoring entirely the range of collateral attacks on judgments that might be available (coram nobis, habeas corpus, etc.), even when an appellate court that can refuse to hear a case does so, the rebuffed appellant is not always "done" and can still seek review from another court (e.g., petition for writ of certiorari to the USSC after a state supreme court refuses leave to appeal).
(4) You say "the loser can ALWAYS appeal, even if that loser was the state that failed in its prosecution." This is profoundly wrong. The option for a prosecutor to appeal after an "unsuccessful prosecution" is very limited. Ever heard of double jeopardy? The prosecution cannot appeal from an acquittal. Benton v. Maryland, 395 U.S. 784 (1969). The prosecution can sometimes appeal dismissals or other unfavorable pretrial outcomes.
(5) Only sort of wrong: The federal circuit courts are indeed colloquially called "circuit courts" but they are actually the United States Courts of Appeals.
Unbreakable at 1:25?
Haha yea I noticed that too ! it was awesome
Finally someone else who NOTICED it
Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt Reference
3:42 "jesus had two dads and he turned out fine" i love this channel, man--
Craig: with regards to the flow of your speech, people recognize the speed feature on youtube. So go ahead and speak as you speak. Likewise, people vary in disposition and (consequently) humor. Please keep cracking jokes. It detracts little from the message and only makes this entertaining lesson more... entertaining?
My thoughts exactly! Thank you for speaking out.
the drake quote was a nice touch
I love the UF Gator reference with state-level Florida judge hanging from the rope! Really random, but still awesome!
Nice simpsons reference at 2:30 thought bubble!
loving that kimmy schmidt reference
Like the humor. Thank you for posting videos on the courts. I'm sure I will be revisiting.
turtles all the way down... *sniff* we still miss you Sir Pterry!
I saw that Judge Dredd reference you sly buggers and I love you for it.
0:19 turtles all the way down john Green's new book
Thanks for the short quick healthy entertainment. Fun learning.
I love ad always learn a lot after watching a Crash Course video. I love the thought bubbles animation and dialogue also. Excellent videos
2:24 nice reference to Lisa Simpsons Florida costume
I love you guys. You do such excellent work, thanks for your contributions
This was great! I love his sense of humor, HOWEVER it was extremely frustrating because he talked so fast. I had to change the speed of the video. SLOW DOWN SIR. LOL
Anyone else watching this the night before the AP Gov test?!!!
He speaks too fast
I would love if you all made a book one day detailing all this information. Or if you even had books in the description you'd recommend for us to read that could help us better understand all things political.
+Faitherie try the Baron's AP review book
Thank you for that Drake reference off the bat
Hi there! I noticed a mistake at 2:26 when talking about diversity of citizenship. The dollar amount that qualifies the case to go to federal court is actually $75,000, not $70,000
Its really frustrating and hard to comprehend sometimes when he's talking so fast. Slow down a bit some! Yeh?
Toblerone is Swiss?!
(checks)
wow i did not know that. cool
So how many state court systems are there?
50
Turtles All the Way Down...
I'm Idaho!
😅😅😅
That Simpsons' reference! I love Thought Bubble.
Good material but he talks way way way too fast
You can slow the video down ..
Love the FL Gators swag on the dummie.
I admire US lawyers for being able to navegate such a complicated system. Our court system is way more straightforward!
we have a civil law system here in Chile. We are not a federal state, so we don't have a dual appeals court system (like in the US, where they have federal and state courts with different jurisdictions): we have one appeal court per region, and one Supreme Court. Obviously in the US lawyers must know where to go if they want to appeal a case, but from outside, it looks complicated!
Make A series specifically on US law!
Woooooooo0o0ow wheezy waiter what a lovely surprise to find u here for my intro to American Politics class
Love the turtles all the way down reference❤️🐢
I'm still waiting for those videos about ideology
My whole AP Govn't class explained in 7 minutes, instead of 7 months...
Turtles all the way down reference!
Take a shot every time the word 'court' is mentioned... RIP everyone who actually listened to this comment.
loved the video !
holy moley, slow down man... youtube gives me the ability to slow this down 50% but that is too slow but on its normal speed it's so hard to keep up.
+Adam Read , aaaagghh-damn_read
Put it at 75% ..
What did he say?
I'm going to be Mr. Legal Nitpick: at 1:41, you say that even a state that failed in its prosecution can appeal. The one party that CANNOT appeal is a state that failed in its prosecution of a criminal case, if the failure came as a result of a jury verdict--that's double jeopardy. (A state that loses a pretrial motion in a criminal case can still appeal.)
Also, at about 2:20, you say that in cases for which the district courts have original jurisdiction, you MUST bring suit in district court. This isn't true; you CAN bring suit in state court for federal-question cases, cases under treaties, and cases under the Constitution, although in the first two categories the other side is likely to try to force you to move it to federal court by removal. Whether the change in courts succeeds will (greatly simplified) mostly depend on whether the federal or treaty question is the main point of your case or if most of the things you're suing for are state-law issues.
this guy literally reminds me of my ap gov teacher so I can't learn from him
Craig for President!!!
thanks for the lesson but can i ask you something ??
can you speak slowly please i couldn't understand what you say inspite it is too important for me
thans so much for your perfect lessons
+Anass Bouzaabit I agree. I had to slow the speed of the video down to 0.5 in order catch the information.
me too i do the same think but it is very hard i hope he speak slowly
he HATES that eagle
Are you going to discuss the court where your guilty until proven innocent and if you plea not guilty they say you get a trial but it's all a scam because you can't have a jury. And all of the parties, judge prosecutor and the eye witness all work for the same corporation. And even if you can prove your not guilty chances are the judge will not rule in your favor.
Which one is that? Because it sounds terrible, and extralegal.
Traffic court
There are legitimate concerns about municipalities funding themselves via over-enforcement of minor infractions, like traffic violations. But I feel like you're engaging in some hyperbole here.
Matthew Prorok I don't think he is engaging in hyperbole. BTW, when was the state going to let me know that it has a claim of ownership of the person I am using. I thought that was my name, but it is purportedly the intellectual property of the state. So much for full disclosure. Maybe I missed something?
Phillip Pitman To be fair, that's not really a court. It's an administrative hearing.
I had a similar problem, but then I filed a claim against the police officer, and the prosecutor. The Judge (administrator) looked at my paperwork, called a recess, advised the prosecutor and officer to discharge the case against me. Then called the case again.
The prosecutor moved for a discharge of the charges, the officer had no idea what was going on.
To make a long story short, it was finally all discharged, and I removed my claim.
(the officer finally realized how many laws he had actually broken in order to give me a ticket).
I love CRASH COURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please do a crash course on physics the biology is so helpful!
does crash course release word documents or outlines of this information? If so, that would be amazing.
Also also, the case or controversy requirement (as well as "judicial review") applies to all Article III federal courts.
Ditto standing and mootness.
Hi Crash Course, I think you guys are great. Have you considered explaining Habeas Petitions. I do believe there is a large amount of folks interested in that right now. Just a suggestion.
mark,,,,,,I thought it was interesting that most cases get settled out side of court using one of these terms, mootness and ripeness.
CrashCourse, you should have some questions at the end of the video for us to answer. I feel like I should get some review over the stuff mentioned in the videos. Maybe a link in the description for questions work.
Was that Florida costume Lisa Simpson when Homer failed to help her project?
That eagle should get some animal rights
This was cool, can't wait for the next one!
(hahaha).. .. " What happens when a case does make it to the supreme court? We'll show you that, next time when we take a shortcut to the supreme court by suing the ambassador to Switzerland for making such delicious chocolate . It's making me unhealthy! ....(we're not actually going to sue Switzerland)"
Unfortunately, much of this information isn't actually correct....
The diversity jurisdiction minimum damages amount is $75,000 not $70,000. 28 USC s. 1332(a).
Also, cases involving federal law do not have to be brought in a federal court. They can also be brought in a state court. Only if the federal law grants exclusive jurisdiction to the federal courts (patent law, securities, etc), then the case must only be brought in federal court. Thus, the only one of the four situations that was correct was cases involving treaties must be brought in federal court.
Also, the case or controversy requirement applies to all federal court cases, not just Supreme Court cases.
No, really I LOVE all crash course, although I wish it were some how more organized, in a place where I can find a list of all the crash courses..
Finally!
They fixed the crooked Capitol building puzzle!
It was driving me mad!
