The United States territorial courts are tribunals established in territories of the United States by the United States Congress, pursuant to its power under Article Four of the United States Constitution, the Territorial Clause. Most United States territorial courts are defunct because the territory under their jurisdiction have become states or been retroceded. Among the United States territorial courts still in existence are:
- United States District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands
- District Court of Guam
- District Court of the Virgin Islands
Their jurisdiction is similar to that of a United States district court.

To constitute tribunals inferior to the Supreme Court?
I believe it refers to Congress' ability to set up a tribunal to hear disputes, appeals, and complaints in regard to some action, the decisions of which can still be reviewed and overturned by the Supreme Court. An example would be Article I courts; Article I courts are also referred to as legislative courts. Article I hearings include: Territorial courts (These are federal courts located in the district of Guam, the US Virgin Islands and the Northern Mariana Islands), US Court of Military Appeals [US Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces], US Court of Veterans Appeals, US Court of Federal Claims, and US Tax Court. Also included are ancillary courts with judges appointed by Article III appeals court judges, or administrative agencies. Article I judges are not subject to the Article III protections.
