Arizona federal courts

Arizona federal courts are part of the U.S. federal judicial system, handling cases involving federal laws, disputes between states, and cases involving citizens from different states. The main court in Arizona is the District Court, where trials occur, with a higher appellate court called the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals reviewing decisions. These courts ensure federal laws are applied consistently and fairly, operating independently from state courts. They handle issues like federal criminal cases, civil rights, and constitutional matters, providing a vital check and balance within the broader U.S. legal system.
