nCultural note: FEDERAL COURT Negli Stati Uniti esistono le federal courts in cui si svolgono i processi per le violazioni alle leggi federali e quelli in cui il reato vede coinvolto più di uno stato, e le "state courts" per i reati contro le leggi statali. Così come ha un proprio sistema giudiziario, ogni stato ha infatti il potere di legiferare (sempre nel rispetto della Costituzione e delle leggi federali). Negli Stati Uniti non esiste la distinzione fra tribunale penale e civile. La maggior parte delle controversie federali viene giudicata nelle "district courts", mentre 12 "Courts of Appeal" giudicano in appello le cause provenienti dalle "federal courts" di grado inferiore. Il tribunale superiore, sia a livello federale che statale, è la "Supreme Court". Nel sistema giudiziario statale esistono le "Appellate Courts" (cioè "courts of appeal"), le "county courts" e le "city courts" che hanno giurisdizione su una vasta gamma di controversie. court www.uscourts.gov/ -

['lɔːjə(r)]See:Cultural note: LAWYER In Gran Bretagna gli avvocati, i lawyers, si distinguono in: "solicitors" e "barristers" (chiamati "advocates" in Scozia). I "solicitors" di solito forniscono assistenza legale in materia di compravendita di immobili, testamenti, recupero crediti e istanze di divorzio e ci si può rivolgere a loro direttamente. Alcuni sono qualificati a rappresentare i propri assistiti sia nelle cause civili che in quelle penali. I "barristers" non trattano direttamente con i clienti ma intervengono dietro richiesta del "solicitor": sono qualificati per esercitare nei tribunali di grado superiore, mentre i "solicitors" in quelli di grado inferiore. Negli Stati Uniti gli avvocati sono di solito chiamati "attorneys"; si occupano di qualunque tipo di causa, civile o penale, e possono rappresentare i loro assistiti in tutti i gradi di giudizio, sia nelle "state courts" che nelle "federal courts". solicitor barrister www.lawsociety.org.uk/home.law
