The federal courts make up the Judicial Branch of the United States government. The Constitution established only one federal court, the Supreme Court. It left to Congress the job of creating the federal court system. Congress has created three types of federal courts. 1. 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 Supreme Court is head of the Judicial Branch, but all Article III courts are part of that branch.

- US Court of International Trade
- US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts
- Supreme Court of the United States
The federal courts Congress created under their authority in Article I of the Constitution, such as US Bankruptcy Court, US Court of Federal Claims, US Tax Court, etc., are notconsidered part of the Judicial Branch, although they are part of the federal court system.

∙ 13y agoFor both state and federal judicial branches it is the judges and the courts which make up the judicial branch. The states are all different, but the federal government works like this in the judicial branch:
United States Magistrate Courts (handle minor crimes);
United States District Courts (there are one or more in each state);
United States Courts of Appeal (next up the line - where you go if you lost in the District Court);
United State Supreme Court (as the name implies, it is the top dog and the end of the line, and where you go if you lose in the appeals court, if they let you. You gotta get permission from them to go to the USSCT).
