U.S. Court of Federal Claims

The U.S. Court of Federal Claims is a specialized court that handles claims against the federal government, primarily disputes over money. It covers issues like contracts, taxes, and government takings of property. While it operates independently, its decisions can be appealed to the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals. Although the Supreme Court can review cases involving federal claims, it usually focuses on significant legal questions or constitutional issues, rather than merely reviewing the Court of Federal Claims' rulings, which are more narrowly focused on compensation and claims against the government.
