South African courts\n\nTry this first\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Court_of_South_Africa\n\nFound two descriptions of the court system:\n\nJudicial--Constitutional Court interprets and decides constitutional issues; Supreme Court of Appeal is the highest court for interpreting and deciding nonconstitutional matters.\n\nAdministrative subdivisions: Nine provinces: Eastern Cape, Free State, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga, North-West, Northern Cape, Limpopo, Western Cape. \n \nhttp://www.state.gov/r/pa/ei/bgn/2898.htm \n\nThe Cape Supreme Court was established in Cape Town in 1828. When circuits round the Cape Colony became too arduous, divisions of the Court were established in the Eastern Cape and in the Northern Cape (then known as Griqualand West). The Natal Supreme Court was established in 1857. The first High Court of Justice was set up in the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek in 1877, while the Orange Free State instituted a High Court in 1854. \n\nFollowing the Union of South Africa in 1910, a new Supreme Court of South Africa was formed, with provincial and local divisions in all four provinces. A new Appellate Division in Bloemfontein heard appeals from the other divisions of the Supreme Court and set precedent which was binding country-wide. The 'independent states' created during the apartheid era established superior courts in their territories. In terms of the new Constitution, the existing provincial and local divisions of the erstwhile 'Supreme Court' (including the courts in the TBVC states) were renamed High Courts, and the Appellate Division was re-established as the Supreme Court of Appeal. \n\nA new superior court, the Constitutional Court, was established to decide matters based on Constitutional provisions. The website of the Court consists of a full text database of all Constitutional Court cases handed down since the first hearing in 1995. Documents available for viewing, printing or downloading include full judgments, summaries of judgments highlighting the main questions of law decided in each case as well as heads of argument, pleadings and documents.\n\nOther superior courts, created in terms of separate legislation, include the Land Claims Court and the Labour Appeal Court.  In addition to these superior courts, district and regional magistrate courts hear minor civil and criminal matters. Decisions of lower courts are not reported. The Commission for Conciliation Mediation and Arbitration tribunals attempt to settle employment disputes. Until 1950, the English Privy Council was the highest court of appeal in the South African judicial system. South Africa no longer has a jury system. Juries were finally abolished for all courts in 1969.\n\nhttp://www.nyulawglobal.org/globalex/South_Africa.htm#_JUDICIARY

Landowners? Vassals? Knights? Kings? Clergy?\n\nThis is the full hierarchy, generally, for Europe.\n\nPope -> King -> Noblemen -> Cardinals, Bishops, etc. -> Petty Nobles (Vassals), Tradesmen -> Serfs and Peasants -> Slaves and Servants.\n\nIn India (the caste system), Brahmins (scholars and priests) held the top tier, (although warriors held the top at first), followed by warriors, tradesmen and merchants, sudras (laborers) and finally the Untouchables (people like gravediggers)

the superior court is hard to explain but I will answer with effort. It is also known as Surpreme Court, the biggest court in the US judical branch. that's where all the people like Clarence Thomas work, Only the biggest trials in America are done in the Surpreme Court. Hope that helps...

Get your law degree, then pass the bar exam. Then get some experience in practice.\n\nAfter that, it depends on which type of judge you're talking about.\n\nFederal judges are appointed by the President (see US Constitution, Article 2 Section 2 and Article 3 Section 1).\n\nState judges may be appointed by the governor, or by the legislature, or may be voted in by the public. It varies by state. Also, temporary judges (like for small claims or municipal courts) may sometimes be appointed.\n\nCheck your local listings.

Your question is unclear.\n\nThere is, obviously, one Supreme Court.\n\nThere are 11 US Courts of Appeal (also a court for the District of Columbia {tax court, fed admin agencies} and Federal {patent, claims court, veterans' appeals}).\n\nThere is a District Court in every state (some states have several/many) and the District of Columbia, Guam, Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands.\n\nThere is also personal jurisdiction (over the individual/entity) and subject matter jurisdiction.         These exist, of course, in every state.

Do you understand what you are asking?  There are thousands of such cases.  Are you interested in certain eras.  Maybe cases under the various Chief Justices.  How about certain types of cases?  Would like to compare similar case subjects prior to 1868 as opposed to post 1868?  However, you can start by going to the source link:
