Is supreme court the same as criminal court?
Answer:
No, not usually. New York State, which names its state trial courts "supreme courts," may try either criminal or civil cases. Texas has two final appellate courts that operate at the supreme court level: the Supreme Court of Texas and the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.
In most situations, a "supreme court" is the highest court of appeals for a state or federal court system. They typically review both criminal and civil cases, but do not hold trials.
