Which branch of government do judges belong?

Answer 1

Good question! Actually, only some judges belong to the Judicial Branch of the US government. The Judicial Branch includes only those federal courts established under Article III of the Constitution:

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

There are many other courts in the federal judiciary, such as US Tax Court, US Bankruptcy Court, US Court of Claims, all the military courts, administrative courts for government agencies, and so on. These courts and tribunals were established under Congress' authority in Article I of the Constitution. None of those judges are part of the Judicial Branch, even though they are all part of the federal court system.

State judges, of course, belong to the Judicial Branch of their individual states, but not to the Judicial Branch of the US federal government.
