Three Levels Of The Court System

The United States court system is structured under Article III of the Constitution which mentions the supreme court. We have three levels of federal court. These include district courts, the supreme court and courts of appeals. The appeals courts and district courts were made by act of congress unlike the supreme court. Justices and judges for all three of these levels are maintained and appointed by the President of course and if not the president them the vice president. The federal district court has to have permission from congress in order to decide most of the cases. Some cases are argued before the district courts though. Cases like criminal prosecutions of people who have broken laws at sea or civilians who have broken critical laws
