Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Laredo would appeal to the North Dakota Supreme Court as it is the highest court in the state and further appeals would be to federal courts. Option A is incorrect as the American Arbitration Association is a private organization used for dispute resolution by parties who agree to use its services. Option C is incorrect as the United States Supreme Court only hears cases that involve federal law or constitutional issues, and this case is being heard at the state level. Option D is incorrect as the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit hears appeals from several states in the Midwest, including North Dakota, but it is not the next step in the appellate process after the state intermediate court of appeals.
