The court system in the United States is divided into the federal governments and the state governments which are administratively different from each other (Miller &amp. Gaines, 2012). The courts act independent of the legislature and the executive. it is a semiautonomous branch of the government. The federal court system vests power on one Supreme Court and all the other courts remain inferior to the Supreme Court. Federal courts are divided into three levels. the federal district courts, the courts of appeal which is more superior to the district courts and Supreme Court which is the highest federal court. Miller &amp. Gaines (2012) cited that, the federal district courts are made up of 92 districts with at least one bench in each of the available 50 states, one each in the Columbia District and Puerto Rico. There are judges in each of the districts ranging from 1 to 20 judges. District court judges are appointed by the president recommended by the members of the senate and confirmed by the senate. District federal courts are charged with the responsibility of solving cases like violations of the constitution and other federal laws, cases that directly involve the federal government, maritime disputes, foreign government cases, and cases involving citizens from foreign countries or of two different states (Miller &amp. Gaines, 2012). The court of appeal system consists of 11 judicial circuits in the 50 states and one in the Columbia District.
