The State can continue it three times, and the Defense can continue it three times. The Judge can continue it as she or he sees fit, but rarely does that happen as the State Supreme Court can order the trial to commence at once.

The court has general subject matter jurisdiction and hears both civil and criminal cases.  Some districts also handle Family probate.  Superior Court will also hear appeals from local or municipal small claims court cases.\n\nThe function of California Court of Appeals is to determine if there was an error at the Superior Court level.  The Court of Appeals can reverse or affirm a Superior Court ruling or send it back for additional action.\n\nCalifornia Supreme Court is located in San Fransisco.  It will review lower court cases and has administrative duties for the operation of the State Court System.  Appeals for Supreme Court decision are heard in United States Supreme Court.

There are separate court systems for state and federal.  The different systems have different jurisdictions, that is types of cases they can hear. \n\nIn the federal court system, there are levels of courts. The lowest level is the federal district court, which is the trial court. This is where federal cases start.\n\nThe next level up is the US Circuit Court of Appeal, which hears appeals from the District Court.  Each Circuit covers a certain amount of states.  For example, California is covered by the 9th Circuit.  \n\nThe U.S. Supreme Court can choose which appeals to hear from the Circuit Court and resolves constitutional issues.  The U.S. Supreme Court can also hear appeals from the individual State supreme courts and is the highest court of the land.  The Supreme Court will not hear cases that have not gone through the district court and circuit court first.  \n\nSo an example.  A person gets arrested after the FBI uses a wiretap and he is prosecuted in District Court for terrorism.  He gets convicted and appeals to the Circuit Court because of the illegal wiretap.  The Circuit Court does not conduct a new trial, but decides the wiretap was illegal government action.  The government appeals to the US Supreme Court to resolve the constitutionality of the wiretap.

If this is for an essay and you have time for research then you use a treatise on constitutional law. There are also resources online.\n\nThe US Supreme Court rules on the federal constitution. State supreme courts (in NYS the Court of Appeals -- their supreme court is the lowest court of general jurisdiction, following English practice) rule on state constitutions. Here's an example where a state law on double jeopardy was stricter than the federal rule: http://www.uniset.ca/naty/maternity/192P2d449.htm (in federal practice, two different sovereigns can prosecute the same offense, California law (only) is different).\n\nCiting a US Supreme Court case is easy. You go to http://www.lexisone.com (free registration required) or to http://justia.us (uses Google searching rules which may be more familiar to you) and you look for what you want -- key words, etc. Supreme Court cases are cited in the pattern "Smith v. Jones, 123 U.S. 456 (19XX)".\n\nMost Supreme Court constitutional law cases are famous: Roe v. Wade (abortion), Loving v. Viriginia (miscegenation), Lawrence v. Texas (sodomy), Miranda v. Arizona (right to warnings upon arrest), Gideon v. Wainwright (right to counsel). And so on.

Check any large library.  They may have a set of state law books that would include case law on any topic if it exists for your particular state.  Ask the reference desk for help (they are trained professionals).

The Supreme Court hears arguments from both parties to the case.  A party may decide to use public opinion as part of their argument, but decisions on constitutional questions are typically decided based on the text of the constitution, the historical reasons for adopting the provision in question & previous decisions of the United States Supreme Court.  Decisions from lower courts, both state and federal, are relevant considerations, but it's not necessary for them to decide.
