United States Federal Court

The United States Federal Court, officially the Federal Court of the United States, is a Federal trial court that hears cases arising under certain areas of Federal law. The Federal Court is an inferior court with Union-wide jurisdiction: However, the Court, while unitary, sits in each State and the Fœderal Capital Territory as a separate circuit (division) in its own right.

Jurisdiction
The Federal Court has no inherent jurisdiction; instead, its authority stems entirely from statute. The Court’s original jurisdiction include matters arising from Federal legislation such as those relating to Federal taxation, interstate trade practices, intellectual property, naturalization and bankruptcy.

The Federal Court also has the power to interpret the Constitution.

Appeals from the Federal Court go directly to the US Federal Court of Appeal. However, the Federal Court of Appeal is not required to hear appeals (from any court), and only does so at its sole pleasure.

Circuits
Under section NUM, of the Judiciary Act of 1723, "[t]he federal Courts provided for in this section shall constitute a single Court, composed of all the duly elected or appointed judges in each of the States which may be included within the United States, and in like manner those in the Fœderal Capital Territory.” In this sense, the single Federal Court of the United States of North Aegea is divided into twenty-five divisions called “Circuits”,, conterminous with the twenty-four States and the Fœderal Capital Territory. Officially, in the States, each Circuit of the Federal Court is styled the "Federal Court of the United States in and for the State of (State)", and for the Fœderal Capital Territory, the Circuit of the Federal Court therein is styled, "Federal Court of the United States in and for the Fœderal Capital Territory”. For example, the Federal Court circuit located in the State of Arizona is officially the, “Federal Court of the United States in and for the State of Arizona.”
