The judicial branch of the federal government is made up of courts. The role of the courts is to interpret laws and make sure they are enforced fairly.
Article III of the Constitution established the Supreme Court, the nation’s highest court.Slide8
The Constitution gives Congress the right to establish lower federal courts: district courts to handle trials and
circuit courts to handle appeals. The Supreme Court handles final appeals.The United States has a
dual court
system. Each state has its own court system that is separate from the federal court system.
The goal of the court system is “equal justice under law.” Every person must be treated the same, and everyone is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Issues that involve the federal government, foreign governments, or U.S. diplomats go to federal court
.When either a federal or state court could hear a case, as when state and federal laws overlap, the two courts have concurrent jurisdiction.Slide13
District courts are the lowest level in the federal system. They have original jurisdiction—they hear cases for the first time—for criminal and civil cases.
The federal circuit courts of appeal serve twelve specific geographic areas. A thirteenth circuit court hears special cases involving patent law, international trade, and other civil cases brought against the United States.Slide14Slide15
Circuit courts hear cases appealed from lower courts. They review decisions made in the lower courts to decide whether mistakes were made. Mistakes might include how the judge applied or interpreted the law.
A party who loses a civil case may ask the circuit court to review the decision. In a criminal case, only an accused who is found guilty may appeal.Slide16
