California: Estate of Anna Nicole Smith Loses a Round in Fight Over Millions

Article found in the New York Times; however, the link will only provide a shortened version since it is a relatively new story.

This article goes on to detail the late Anna Nicole Smith's estate and how her deceased husband's fortune will not be left to her estate. Her estate is left to her daughter, Dannielynn Hope Marshall Stern. We are currently learning about the legal court system and this article relates to the court system as was recently a case within the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The representative for Anna's estate, Kent Richland, has said that he will continue to appeal this case until it goes to the Supreme Court.

According to our text, we now know that the United States Supreme Court is 'the highest level of three-tiered model of the federal court system'. And also that, 'all other courts in the federal system are considered inferior'.
