The true statement about the court system from the given options is:

State court systems tend to follow the same structure as the federal court system.

This means that both state and federal courts typically have a tiered system that includes trial courts, appellate courts, and a supreme court, albeit the specific names and structures may vary by state.

The other statements are false because:

  1. State court systems do have their own Supreme Court for the state.
  2. Federal courts are not only appellate courts; they also include trial courts (U.S. District Courts).
  3. State courts can hear both trial cases and appellate cases.
