Federal Court System Article III of the U.S. Constitution provides that the federal government’s judicial power is vested in one “Supreme Court.” This court is the U.S. Supreme Court. Article III authorizes Congress to establish “inferior” federal courts. Pursuant to its Article III power, Congress has established the U.S. district courts, the U.S. courts of appeals, and the U.S. bankruptcy courts. Pursuant to other authority in the Constitution, the U.S. Congress has established other federal courts. Federal judges of the U.S. Supreme Court, U.S. courts of appeals, and U.S. district courts are appointed for life by the president, with the advice and consent of the Senate.
