U.S. Federal Court System

The U.S. Federal Court System is a hierarchy of courts that interprets federal laws and the Constitution. It includes three main levels: 1. **District Courts** – These are the trial courts where cases are first heard, including civil and criminal matters. 2. **Circuit Courts (Courts of Appeals)** – These review decisions made by District Courts, ensuring the law was applied correctly. 3. **Supreme Court** – The highest court in the land, it reviews significant legal issues and its decisions set important precedents that lower courts must follow. The system ensures justice through checks and balances.
