inferior courts (lower courts)
Congress has the authority to establish federal courts; state legislative bodies establish state courts.
Congress (Legislative Branch) is vested with the authority to establish "inferior courts" and to organize the federal court system under Articles I and III of the Constitution.
The judicial power granted to Congress under the U.S. Constitution allows it to establish inferior courts beneath the Supreme Court. This authority is outlined in Article III, Section 1, enabling Congress to create and organize various lower courts, such as district courts and courts of appeals. These courts handle federal cases, ensuring the judiciary operates effectively and can manage the caseload that the Supreme Court does not directly address. This structure helps maintain a balanced and accessible legal system.
Article III, Section 1 of the Constitution established the Supreme Court and authorized the Congress to establish inferior courts, which would be the remainder of the federal court system.
"inferior courts"Article IIISection 1. The judicial power of the United States, shall be vested in one Supreme Court, and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish. The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services, a compensation, which shall not be diminished during their continuance in office.
No types of inferior courts are listed in the US Constitution. The Constitution sets up the Supreme Court in Article III but leaves it to Congress to set up other inferior courts as it sees fit. In addition to the Article III power to create inferior courts, Article I also empowers Congress to create tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court but likewise does not describe what type they might be.

The authority to set up a system of federal courts was granted to Congress by the U.S. Constitution. Article III of the Constitution establishes the judicial branch and allows Congress to create inferior courts under the Supreme Court.
