What is the judicial branch's structure?

Answer 1

The main function of the judicial branch is to make sure all laws that are passed are considered constitutional and do not go in any way against the Constitution.

It can also be described as the forum where disputes between persons, legal entities and/or government agencies are settled through the process of a trial so that disputes are handled peacefully. It is also the function where the guilt or innocence of a person charged with a crime or violation of a law is determined.

The structure basically is one trial level court (where the initial lawsuit is heard), one appellate level (where claims that mistakes were made in the trial court leading to wrong decisions are determined) and one Supreme Court (where claims that mistakes were made in the appellate court leading to wrong decisions there can be determined).

The trial level courts are set up so that specialized cases are treated in specialized courts for greater efficiency. At the Federal level, bankruptcy cases are heard in the Bankruptcy Court, Immigration cases are heard in the Immigration Court, contract claims against the federal government are heard in the US Court of Federal Claims and other types of specialized cases.

Many states have similar specializations such as separate Tax Courts for tax issues, Equity or Chancery courts for equitable relief, etc.
To pass judgment in matters that affect monetary gain, ego, or threats to power positions.

Answer 2

The Federal Judicial Branch originated when 9/13 states ratified the Constitution in June, 1788. Article III created 1 Supreme Court, granting Congress power to create Federal Courts inferior to the Supreme Court. Congress used this authority to pass the Federal Judiciary Act of 1789, which is the root of modern American Court structure and jurisdiction.

Key: Court Type - [# of Judges per Court] - (Origin) - {Key Info}Original Federal Judiciary structure highest to lowest:1 Supreme Court - [6 Justices] - (Article III of Constitution)

3 Circuit Courts - [3 Judges: 1 District Judge, 2 Justices] - (Fed Judiciary Act)

{Divided into Eastern, Middle, and Southern circuits}

13 District Courts - [1 Judge per Court] - (Fed Judiciary Act)

Current structure highest to lowest:1 Supreme Court - [9 Justices] - {Fixed at 9 Justices since 1869}

12 Appeals Courts - [1 Judge] - (Federal Courts Improvement Act 1982)

94 District Courts - [678 Total Judges, Most in Single District = 28]

Answer 4

In the US Constitution, the Judicial Branch refers specifically to Article III (constitutional) courts and their judges and justices, not to all the federal courts as some people mistakenly believe.

Courts in the Judicial Branch

• US District Courts
• US Court of International Trade
• US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts
• Supreme Court of the United States

Federal Courts NOT in the Judicial Branch

• US Court of Federal Claims
• US Bankruptcy Courts
• US Tax Courts
• US Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces
• All military courts and tribunals
• (And many others)

Most of the courts outside the Judicial Branch were created under Congress' authority under Article I, and are part of the Legislative Branch.
