Because of its sovereign immunity the United States Government cannot be sued without its consent. Congress set up the Court of Claims in 1855 to hear pleas of people with claims against the government. The Court of Claims was later renamed the United States Court of Federal Clams(1993). This court is composed of 16 judges who were appointed by the President and approved by the Senate. Each judge serves a 15 year term. They hold trials hearing claims for damages against the Federal Government. They choose which claims to uphold and the claims will be paid when Congress appropriates the money for it. Appeals may be carried to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
