The US judicial system


The judicial system of the United States is a system of interconnected judicial and administrative authorities
that administer justice in the United States of America and the administration of judicial authorities. It
consists of various government agencies at the federal, state and local levels. A distinctive feature of the US
judicial system is its dualism.
Organ system

The organ system is divided into three parts:

• Federal courts

• State courts

• Regulatory agencies
Federal courts
Federal courts consider all cases arising from relations regulated by the Code of Laws of the United States (United
States Code, abbreviated U.S.C.). They also handle all cases falling under the jurisdiction of federal agencies. These, for
example, include cases of crimes committed on the territory of several states at once, since these cases are under the
jurisdiction of the FBI. The system of federal courts consists of several hierarchical levels. The highest link in the
system is the Supreme Court of the United States. This is followed by the District Courts of Appeal. Below are the
district courts of various geographical regions, the system of which is determined by the US Congress.
State courts
State courts are created in various forms, in accordance with the legislation of each state. For example, in the state of New
York, the Supreme Court of New York operates, which is essentially a court of first instance, received its name as an
indication that it is a court of higher rank in relation to administrative and local courts. The highest-level court in this state
is the New York State Court of Appeals . State courts hear cases arising from relationships governed by local law. The vast
majority of cases are considered in state courts.
Regulatory agencies

There are also a large number of government agencies that have the right to make binding decisions in a certain area and
bring them to execution. These include, for example, the Securities and Exchange Commission, which regulates financial
relations. At the local level, there are city agencies that regulate and apply norms in the field of construction legislation
there are also Courts of special jurisdiction

Federal courts of general jurisdiction turned out to be insufficient, and there was a need for the periodic establishment
of special courts. They are called "legislative" courts because they were formed by an act of Congress. Judges in these
courts, like their counterparts in other federal courts, are appointed by the President for life, but their appointment
requires approval from the Senate.
term of office of the judge

Term of office The Constitution stipulates that judges retain their office as long as their conduct is impeccable. This
means that judges are appointed for life, although they have the right to resign at their own request. A judge can be
deprived of office only by applying the impeachment procedure.
