The federal courts make up the Judicial Branch of the United States government. The Constitution established only one federal court, the Supreme Court.

District Courts--the nation is divided into 94 federal judicial districts, each with its own district court. These are the courts where cases are tried. 2. Courts of Appeals. The District Courts are divided into 12 regions, called circuits. Each circuit has its own Court of Appeals. There is also a Federal Circuit which covers the entire nation. If a person looses a case in the district court that person can appeal the case to the court of appeals. 3 The Supreme Court. 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 US District Courts hear cases of general jurisdiction (criminal and civil cases).

The US Special Courts include US Bankruptcy Courts, US Tax Courts, the US Court of Federal Claims and several other courts of limited jurisdiction established under Congress authority in Article I of the Constitution. While these are part of the federal court system, they are not part of the Judicial Branch but part of the Legislative Branch.
