You must be confusing this branch with the Judicial branch, which in a way decides Supreme Court cases with their interpretation of certain laws.AnswerSurprisingly, the answer to this question is sometimes yes.Congress established certain courts, like the US Court of Claims, US Tax Court, US Bankruptcy Court, etc, under its authority in Article I of the constitution. These entities are known as Article I Courts (and tribunals) and are part of the Legislative Branch of government. Therefore, any decision made by an Article I court is technically being made by the Legislative Branch.When most people speak of the federal court system, however, they are thinking about the Article III (constitutional) courts that are part of the Judicial Branch of government. Article III courts have general jurisdiction over federal question cases, matters related to the Constitution, federal laws (other than those heard in Article I courts) and US Treaties. When one of these courts hears a case, the decision is made by the Judicial Branch.Judicial BranchUS District CourtsUS Court of Intentional TradeUS Court of Appeals Circuit CourtsSupreme Court of the United States
