What is the Judicial Branch of the US government?

Answer 1

The Judicial Branch* is one of three independent parts of the US Government, and consists of the constitutional courts of the federal court system (not the entire federal court system, as most people believe). The primary responsibility of the judicial branch is to interpret and apply the laws, and ensure their constitutionality.

The three branches of government share responsibility for the legal system. The Legislative branch (Congress) creates law; the Judicial branch determines their constitutionality and resolves disputes; and the Executive branch enforces the laws.

The Supreme Court of the United States is head of the Judicial Branch. The other Article III (constitutional) courts are also part of the judicial branch.

• US District Courts
• US Court of International Trade
• US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts
• US Supreme Court

* People sometimes mistakenly call the Judicial Branch the "Judiciary" Branch. If referring to the US government, this term is incorrect.

The official definition for the word judicial is "of, by, or appropriate to a court or judge."
