What does the judiciary consist of?

Answer 1

The Judicial Branch of the United States government consists of the United States Supreme Court and every federal court.

Answer 2

The federal judicial branch is comprised of

(1) the ninety-four United States District Courts;

(2) the United States Courts of Appeals for the First through Eleventh and the District-of-Columbia Circuits;

(3) the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit;

(4) the United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces; and,

(5) the Supreme Court of the United States.

There are also some administrative agencies that handle some of the ancillary functions of, and needed by, the federal-court system.

Each State, being guaranteed a republican form of government under the U.S. Constitution, also has a judicial branch of its own. For matters of interpretation of State Constitutions and under the doctrine of adequate and independent State grounds, the Supreme Court of the United States abstains and defers to the State Supreme Courts--these are relatively narrow exceptions to the Supremacy Clause as it pertains to the Supreme Court of the United States. This is the dual nature of American federalism as to the judicial branch.
