The dual court system refers to the fact that the US has a federal court system and 40 separate state court systems. The state courts are bound by their own statutes and constitution, US statutes and Constitution, rulings and precedent from higher courts within the state, rulings of the federal courts in their jurisdiction, and by precedent from the federal appeals courts in their jurisdiction, and by the US Supreme Court. The federal courts are bound by US Statutes and Constitution, precedent and rulings from the appeals court in their juridiction, and by the US Supreme Court. The Federal Appeals courts are bound by US Statutes and Constitution and by precedent from the US Supreme Court. The US Supreme Court is not bound by anything except the US Statutes and the US Constitution, but they can declare a US Statute unconstitutional.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. The U.S. has dual court system in the sense that we have federal and state court systems. If you care to clarify your question, email me and I will try to give you a better answer.
