If Supreme court can override Highcourt's judgement , why dont we have just a supreme court alone?

Question

One judgement body might reduce same case being investigated or drilled more than once.

Answer 1

As cases go through appeals, most get resolved in some way or another long before they reach the Supreme Court. There are different levels of courts largely for this purpose, to keep the highest court from being swamped with too much work.

Answer 2

Do you know how the legal system works? This is how it works (at least in the US).

A person has a trial, and can appeal the trial on the ground that there was a mistake/problem in their trial. The case goes to an appellate court, where the Justices decide on the merit of the complaint. After each failure, a litigant can work his/her way through the state's appellate system up to the State Supreme Court. After that, appeals go to the District Court of Appeals (Circuit Courts). After that, cases are appealed to the Supreme Court of the US, the supreme court of the land.

Answer 3

There are multiple federal courts because the total case load handled by the federal court system is too great for one court to hear alone. When the supreme court hears a case it is often because the case was decided by a lower federal court but the losing party in that case appealed the decision.

Answer 4

Are you kidding? Right now it could take months or even years to have your case heard by the judge and/or jury in your one jurisdiction and you want to have one court do all the work? That would take even longer. They are there to hear the most crucial and worthy cases that there are. There are lower courts so that way smaller claims, such as dog biting or damages to property can be heard and decided.

Answer 5

The Supreme Court Justices, don't want to work that much.

Answer 6

because not all debates are important enough to go to the supreme court, and there are far, far too many cases to be judged.

Answer 7

Just think of all the cases coming through it wouldn't be feasible.
