United States Federal Court System

The U.S. Federal Court System interprets and applies federal laws, resolving legal disputes involving federal issues or parties from different states. It is organized into three main levels: District Courts, which are trial courts handling initial cases; Circuit Courts (Courts of Appeals), which review decisions from district courts for errors; and the Supreme Court, the highest court, which reviews important or controversial cases. The system ensures legal consistency across the country and upholds the Constitution. Federal judges are appointed for life, providing independence and stability in legal decision-making.
