The court system in the United States is complex because it is divided into several levels and branches.
In theory, this complexity is necessary to ensure that the legal system can handle the diverse and varied types of cases that arise in a large and complex society like the United States. It also allows for a system of checks and balances, with multiple levels of appeal, to ensure that justice is served.
