Federal Courts
The Federal Court system is comprised of the Supreme Court created by Article
III of the U.S. Constitution and lesser courts created by Congress under Article
I Section 8 power. District courts function as trial courts. The federal system
also has trial courts of special and exclusive jurisdiction that decide specific
types of controversies such as copyright or bankruptcy issues. Appeals from
the district and special courts are taken to the court of appeals for the judicial
circuit in which the district court sits--the United States is divided into
eleven circuits (plus DC and the special Federal Circuit). Appeals from the
circuit courts are taken to the Supreme Court (State court appeals can also
be taken to the Supreme court if the case involves a federal question such as
a Constitutional issue).
Federal Courts have limited subject matter jurisdiction. They can only hear
cases that fall both within the scope defined by the constitution in Article
III Section 2 and Congressional statutes.
