How is the federal court system organized and how does it operate?

Answer 1

The Constitution established only one federal court in the Judicial Branch, the Supreme Court. It left to Congress' discretion the creation of other federal courts under its authority in Article III (the constitutional courts) and Article I.

The three most widely used courts in the federal judiciary are:

US District Courts: The US and its territories are divided into 94 federal judicial districts, each with its own district court. These are the courts where cases are tried.

US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts: The District Courts are divided among 12 geographical regions, called Circuits. Each circuit has its own Court of Appeals. There is also a thirteenth Circuit, the Federal Circuit which has nationwide jurisdiction over special subject matter, such as cases from the US Court of Federal Claims. If a person looses a case in the district court that person can appeal the case to the appropriate Court of Appeals Circuit Court.

Supreme Court of the United States: The Supreme Court is the highest of the federal courts. Cases from the Circuit Courts and those involving federal question jurisdiction from the state supreme courts can be appealed to the Supreme Court.
