Alaska Court System

The Alaska Court System is the unified, centrally administered, and totally state-funded judicial system for the State of Alaska. The Alaska District Courts are the primary misdemeanor trial courts, the Alaska Superior Courts are the primary felony trial courts, and the Alaska Supreme Court and the Alaska Court of Appeals are the primary appellate courts. The Chief Justice of the Alaska Supreme Court is the administrative head of the Alaska Court System.

It has four levels of state courts:

The district courts are the primary misdemeanor trial courts, the superior courts are the primary felony trial courts although they also sometimes hear appeals from the district courts, and the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals are the primary appellate courts.

Alaska is separated into 4 judicial districts.

The Alaska Supreme Court is the state supreme court. The Supreme Court is composed of the Chief Justice and four associate justices. They choose one of their own members to serve a three-year term as Chief Justice.

The decisions of the Alaska Supreme Court are binding on all other Alaska state courts, and the only other courts that may reverse or modify those decisions are the United States federal courts. The Supreme Court hears appeals from lower state courts and also administers the state's judicial system. The Alaska Supreme Court is required to hear appeals in civil cases in the first instance and is not able to exercise its discretion whether to consider appeals previously heard by other appellate courts.
