A quick definition of federal judiciary:

The federal judiciary is the part of the government that deals with legal cases that involve the Constitution and federal laws. It includes the Supreme Court and other courts created by Congress. The lower courts are called District Courts and Courts of Appeals. The Supreme Court has the power to hear important cases and make decisions that affect the whole country. Judges in these courts are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, and they have life tenure. This means they can make fair decisions without worrying about public opinion. If a judge behaves badly, they can be removed from office.

A more thorough explanation:

The federal judiciary is the branch of the federal government responsible for interpreting and enforcing federal laws. It consists of the Supreme Court and lower federal courts established by Congress. The federal judiciary has jurisdiction over cases arising under the Constitution and federal laws.

  • The Supreme Court hears cases involving constitutional issues, such as civil rights and freedom of speech.
  • The District Courts are trial courts that hear cases involving federal crimes, bankruptcy, and disputes between citizens of different states.
  • The Courts of Appeals hear appeals from the District Courts and have the power to interpret federal laws.

These examples illustrate how the federal judiciary is responsible for interpreting and enforcing federal laws. The Supreme Court, District Courts, and Courts of Appeals each have specific roles in the federal court system and work together to ensure that federal laws are applied fairly and consistently.
