I think it would come down to if you can get the lesson books in Xcode's Playgrounds (or if they have a separate Playground application) that you can in the iPad app. Those are most of the benefit right there.

You can sometimes go from the state Supreme Court to the US Court of Appeals and then to the SCOTUS, but usually only if the case tends to involve some kind of question concerning the US Constitution. Otherwise those courts may decline to h
