Abstract
In the United States, there is not just one system of justice; there are many. Each of the fifty states has its own constitution, laws, and courts of law. In addition, there is the overall federal justice system, which operates through the federal courts. Federalism profoundly affects the administration of justice in the United States, and the administration of justice, in turn, affects our federalism.
The purpose of this brief essay is to identify the most important aspects of the relationship between federalism and the administration of justice in the United States and its division of governmental powers between the national (or 'federal') government and the states.
