## Alabama legal context

Alabama's judiciary mirrors the federal system with a Supreme Court at the top, two intermediate appellate courts (one civil, one criminal), and a network of circuit and district courts that hear local cases. The Administrative Office of Courts coordinates technology, interpreter access, and public records so even small counties can participate in statewide initiatives.

Roughly 13,000 lawyers belong to the Alabama State Bar, which enforces ethics rules and requires annual continuing legal education. Because much of the economy revolves around manufacturing, healthcare, and agriculture, attorneys often balance courtroom work with transactional projects involving plants, timberlands, or family farms.
