Final Answer : E, Explanation :  Intermediate courts of appeal in state courts systems are analogous to federal circuit courts of appeal.They exist in approximately one-half of the states in the United States.The names of these courts vary,but most states call them courts of appeal or superior courts.Because approximately one-half of the states lack intermediate courts of appeal,appeals from trial courts in these states go directly to the state court of last resort.
