The Judicial Branch is one of three independent parts of the US Government, and comprises the Article III constitutional courts. The primary responsibility of the judicial branch is to interpret and apply the laws, and ensure their constitutionality.
The Judicial Branch comprises the US District Courts, the US Court of International Trade, the US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts and the Supreme Court of the United States. The US District Courts try both civil and criminal cases; the appellate courts consider appeals based on violation of federal law and infringement of constitutional rights.
Supreme Court opinions help shape federal policy and determine the application of laws. The Court also resolves disputes between two or more states.
