Federal Judiciary
The Federal Judiciary oversees the federal courts of the United States. These courts include 12 regional Circuit Courts of Appeals, 94 District Courts, the U.S. Court of International Trade and the U.S. Court of Federal Claims. The rulings of the federal courts protect the rights guaranteed by the Constitution. Federal judges are nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. Congress has the power to create federal courts and approve the judiciary's budget. The Federal Judiciary provides access to cases from federal courts with the PACER Service Center.
