Federal Court (U.S.)

The U.S. Federal Court is part of the national judiciary that handles cases involving federal laws, constitutional issues, disputes between states, or cases involving the U.S. government. These courts vary in authority, with District Courts serving as trial courts, and the Courts of Appeals reviewing decisions from the District Courts. Federal courts ensure laws are applied consistently across the country and interpret the Constitution. They operate independently of the legislative and executive branches, providing a neutral forum for justice in complex or significant legal matters that go beyond individual states.
