federal court case

A federal court case involves a legal dispute that falls under the authority of U.S. federal law or involves parties from different states or countries. These courts handle issues like constitutional rights, federal crimes, or interstate commerce. The case begins when one party files a complaint, and the court reviews evidence, hears arguments, and applies federal laws to make a ruling. Federal courts include district courts (trial level), appellate courts (review decisions), and the Supreme Court (highest authority). Their decisions set legal precedents that influence the interpretation and application of federal law across the country.
