Yes. The thirteen US Courts of Appeals Circuit Courts are the intermediate appellate courts of the federal judicial system.
Another View: While the above example, as far as it goes, is true, in part, ... it can depend greatly on whether you are referring to the state or federal court systems. The lowest level of state court is usually referred to as a Circuit Court, while the lowest level of the federal court system is referred to as a District Court. As stated in the original answer, Federal District courts are grouped together in Circuits.

∙ 14y agoThe US Supreme Court is a federal court; it is the head of the Judicial branch of government.
Article III Courts, which includes US District Courts (trial courts) and US Courts of Appeals Circuit Courts are directly below the US Supreme Court. There are a few other courts of limited jurisdiction that have an appeals path culminating with the Supreme Court.
Technically, the Supreme Court is not the head of the Article I courts, which are created primarily to review appeals of federal agencies' and departments' decisions.
The Supreme Court is the highest court in the United States; all other judicial bodies have less authority.

∙ 12y agoNo. The "federal judiciary" is a general term that refers to the federal court system as a whole. The US Supreme Court is part of the federal judiciary, but so are all the other courts.
The Judicial Branch, on the other hand, consists only of Article III (constitutional) courts. The US Supreme Court is head of the Judicial Branch.

∙ 13y agoNot really, although there are a few exceptions. The US Supreme Court hears most cases under its appellate (appeals) jurisdiction; however, the Constitution grants the Court original (trial) jurisdiction over disputes between the states and cases involving ambassadors and other foreign dignitaries (the latter are currently tried in US District Court), so there is a limited class of cases that may be "tried" in the Supreme Court. Nevertheless, the Supreme Court is not considered a "federal trial court."
