United States Federal Courts

United States Federal Courts are part of the federal judiciary, which interprets and applies federal laws. They handle cases involving the U.S. Constitution, federal statutes, and disputes between states or citizens from different states. The system includes District Courts (trial level), Circuit Courts (appellate level), and the Supreme Court, which is the highest authority. Federal judges are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate. These courts ensure justice is served and uphold the rule of law, providing a check on legislative and executive actions.
