Title 2 (Judicial Branch)

Title 2 of the U.S. Code outlines the organization, powers, and functions of the federal judiciary, including the Supreme Court and lower federal courts. It establishes the structure for how judges are appointed, the jurisdiction of courts, and rules governing court procedures. Essentially, it provides the legal framework that enables the judiciary to interpret and apply the law, ensure justice, and resolve disputes under the federal legal system. This title ensures the judiciary operates consistently and independently as a vital branch of government.
