Yes. The Federal Courts follow the doctrine of stare decisis. They will only overturn precedent if a higher court has ruled on the issue differently.
Added: The above answer is correct insofar as it goes, However, if by "the federal courts" you mean to include ALL Federal Courts (to include the Supreme Court) you will find many instances of the Supreme Court reversing it's own theretofore long-standing decisions. (e.g.: Dred Scott).
