Federal Courts’ Procedure

 

A case involving federal jurisdiction is heard first before a federal district judge. An appeal may be made to the US Court of Appeals and, in the last resort, to the US Supreme Court.

 

Most federal cases begin and are settled in the lower US District Courts and only a minority of cases is appealed. There are ninety-five district courts in the US (with states having at least one court). They are trial courts in which a judge or a jury decides each case. Most citizens involved in federal litigation only have dealings with the District Courts.

 

They try cases involving breaches of federal criminal law, such as bank robbery, drug dealing, kidnapping, currency fraud and assassination. But most of the work of the District Courts is in areas of civil law, such as taxation, civil rights, administrative regulations, disputes between states and bankruptcy.

           

The US Courts of Appeals system consists of fifteen courts sitting in each of the judicial circuits into which the US divided. These courts (with from three to five judges) mainly hear appeals from decisions of the US District Courts within the circuits. Most of their decisions are final and set a precedent for future similar cases.

The US Supreme Court

The US Supreme Court in Washington, DC comprises a Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices, assisted by law clerks. It has jurisdiction in national/federal matters. But its main role is that of an appeal court and it hears cases from lower federal and state courts. These appeals usually involve constitutional issues, questions of federal law and conflicts between two or more of the states.

 

The Court has authority to review any executive and legislative action or law passed by any level of government (if challenged in a court case) and can declare it unconstitutional after judging its compatibility with the Constitution. Although not explicitly given this power of judicial review by the Constitution, the Supreme Court has developed such jurisdiction. It enables the Court to profoundly influence many aspects of American life.

 

Today the fame and influence of the Supreme Court result from its power of judicial review, the right to decide if congressional, presidential, and state's acts are in accordance with the Constitution and to declare them void if it deems they are not. The Court's review power maintains the supremacy of federal law and a uniform interpretation of the Constitution from state to state.
