In the US government, the Judicial Branch refers specifically to Article III (constitutional) courts and their judges and justices, not to all the federal courts as some people mistakenly believe. Each State also has its own judicial branch with trial courts, courts of appeals, and a State Supreme Court (or its equivalent).
Federal Courts in the Judicial Branch
- US District Courts
- US Court of International Trade
- US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts
- Supreme Court of the United States
Federal Courts NOT in the Judicial Branch
- US Court of Federal Claims
- US Bankruptcy Courts
- US Tax Courts
- US Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces
- All military courts and tribunals
- (And many others)
Most of the courts outside the Judicial Branch were created under Congress' authority under Article I, and are part of the Legislative Branch.
Members of the US Supreme Court are called Justices; the leader of the Court is the Chief Justice. The lower court members are called judges.
