US Special Courts (courts of special or limited jurisdiction) organized under Congress' authority in Article I are sometimes called legislative courts because they are part of the Legislative Branch of government. Examples of legislative courts include US Bankruptcy Court, US Tax Court, and the US Court of Federal Claims.

Courts established under Congress' authority in Article III are sometimes called constitutional courts. Constitutional courts comprise the Judicial Branch of government, which is independent of the Legislative Branch. The US District Courts, Court of International Trade, US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts, and Supreme Court of the United States make up the Judicial Branch of government.
