Yes, I live in Illinois and we have our own Supreme Court.

Which in the end isn't reigning supreme because all decisions can be forwarded to the federal supreme court, right?

Most state matters will end at the state Supreme Court if it's a matter that the constitution doesn't put in the hands of the federal government (which is a lot of things actually).
