Article I Courts

Article I Courts are specialized courts established by Congress under Article I of the U.S. Constitution, primarily to handle specific types of cases. Unlike Article III Courts, which are federal courts with judges appointed for life, Article I Courts typically address issues such as tax, military, or immigration matters. They are often designed to provide expertise in niche areas and may have judges who serve fixed terms. Examples include the U.S. Tax Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims. These courts help manage judicial caseloads by focusing on particular legal fields.
