JUDICIARY in the USA
Millions of cases come to trial every year in the United States. A very large number of civil and criminal cases are handled annually by the courts. Most are determined at state and local (rather than federal) levels. Americans have a constitutional right to have their cases quickly determined in a public trial by an impartial judge or jury (a selected number of citizens who decide the facts in court cases). The only court specially mentioned by the Constitution is the US Supreme Court. Article III of the Constitution created a third branch of government, the independent federal judiciary: 'The judicial power of the United States shall be vested in one Supreme Court and in such inferior courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish'.
The Judiciary Act (1789) created new federal courts, which now have two roles. They interpret the meaning of laws and administrative acts (statutory construction) and examine any law or administrative action by national or state authorities in the light of the US Constitution (judicial review). The power of judicial review was initially contested by states' rights activists. But it was finally conceded and was an important factor in establishing a united nation.

American Judiciary
The result of the historical developments in the USA was a legal organization for the whole country and authority was divided between state and federal courts. The states still have their own courts, common law, constitutions and statutes and have jurisdiction over state law. But if a state court decision violates federal laws, or involves a federal question, the US Supreme Court can ultimately review and overturn it. Some federal and state matters may thus proceed from local courts to the Supreme Court and federal laws and the Constitution have (in theory) a uniform application throughout the country.
The independence and status of the judiciary were strengthened over time. It is now regarded as an essential safeguard against abuse by the executive and legislative branches. Federal judges are appointed by the president and subject to approval by the Senate. There are some 900 of them who serve until retirement and who can only be removed for gross misconduct.

State judges may now be appointed, selected and elected (by the people) depending on the practices of individual states. They may also be investigated by state commissions which may recommend their disciplining or removal.
