Federal Court System

Quoting it.

"The term federal court can actually refer to one of two types of courts. The first type of court is what is known as an Article III court. These courts get their name from the fact that they derive their power from Article III of the Constitution. These courts include (1) the U.S. District Courts, (2) the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal, and (3) the U.S. Supreme Court. They also include two special courts: (a) the U.S. Court of Claims and (b) the U.S. Court of International Trade. These courts are special because, unlike the other courts, they are not courts of general jurisdiction. Courts of general jurisdiction can hear almost any case. All judges of Article III courts are appointed by the President of the United States with the advice and consent of the Senate and hold office during good behavior."

• Well, I have no doubt that the Federal Court website correctly identifies the status of the Court of Federal Claims, so please change the article accordingly. Cheers! bd2412 T 08:42, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
  • I take that back. The court's own website says that it's an Article I court with fifteen year terms (so, by definition, can't be Article III). bd2412 T 08:45, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
