Federal Courts

Federal courts are part of the United States judicial system responsible for interpreting federal laws and the Constitution. They handle cases involving federal issues, such as disputes between states, immigration, or constitutional rights. The system consists of three main levels: district courts (trial courts), circuit courts (appellate courts), and the Supreme Court (highest court). Through these courts, the federal judiciary ensures justice and upholds the rule of law, providing a check on the powers of the legislative and executive branches. Ultimately, they safeguard individual rights and resolve conflicts within the framework of federal law.
