Congress
Congress has the authority to establish federal courts; state legislative bodies establish state courts.
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. This provision enables Congress to determine the structure and jurisdiction of the federal court system.
