No. William Marbury filed a petition for a writ of mandamus (an order compelling an official to take - or refrain from taking - a legal action) with the US Supreme Court, which is the head of the federal court system.
The Judiciary Act of 1789 assigned original jurisdiction to the Supreme Court for writs of mandamus against government officials, which Chief Justice Marshall decided was not the Constitution's intention. According to Marshall, Marbury's case was not within the Court's jurisdiction; he would have to file with the lower court (District Court) for relief.
Marbury never refiled his case.
Case Citation:
Marbury v. Madison, 5 US 137 (1803)
The Supreme Court is the highest of the federal courts. Cases from the court of appeals in each circuit and from the state supreme courts can be appealed to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court can "reach down" to the lower courts and hear that case, or, it can hear a case on appeal from the lower federal courts or highest state courts, at the Supreme Court's discretion.
Simply, if the case arises under federal statute or is a case of constitutional interpretation federal courts will have original jurisdiction.
A case over which the federal courts have jurisdiction.
A United States Supreme Court decision is mandatory on all lower federal courts. That includes federal courts of appeal and federal district courts.
No. This is out of his power. The cases work their way through lower courts and the justices are not required to take a case. The federal government can bring a case through the courts, but the president isn't involved.
US District Courts are trial courts, the entry point of the federal court system. A case reaches the federal district courts when someone commits a federal crime or is sued under federal jurisdiction.
Lower courts are where cases are initially started. If they are appealed, they are taken to higher courts.
There have been millions of court cases brought in federal district courts.
Appellate courts in the Judicial Branch have jurisdiction (power, authority) to review lower court decisions if the appellate court receives the case on appeal. The courts do not routinely review lower court decisions, otherwise.
An issue of federal law.
