federal court

Federal courts are part of the United States judicial system that handle cases involving federal laws, disputes between states, and certain cases involving diversity of citizenship. They operate under the Constitution and federal statutes. Federal courts include district courts (general trial courts), circuit courts (which hear appeals from district courts), and the Supreme Court, which is the highest court in the land. These courts ensure that laws are applied fairly and consistently across the country, resolving legal disputes and interpreting the law in important cases that can have wide-ranging implications for society.
