Judiciary

Judiciary in the United States

The governmental branch that possesses judicial authority. The term Judiciary (Judicial Function) can refer either to the court system generally or to the judges in aggregate who sit on the various courts. It is the function of the Judiciary to interpret or construe the law as distinct from creating or executing it. The related term, judicial, refers to that which belongs to the position of a judge, such as the authority to render judgments in formal processes. The Judiciary in the United States is divided between the national and state levels of government. The power of particular courts, both federal and state, is defined by each court’s jurisdiction. Usually, courts possess either original jurisdiction or appellate jurisdiction, but in some cases both. The former allows a court to hear a case first, while the latter allows a court to review the proceedings of a lower court. The Judiciary is created either by specific provision of federal or state constitutions or by statutes enacted pursuant to constitutional mandate. The Supreme Court is created by terms of Article III of the U.S. Constitution. Article III also conveys power to Congress to establish inferior federal courts. The first Congress established the district and circuit courts in the Judiciary Act of 1789 . A number of Judiciary acts (see bellow) have followed, including the Act of 1891 (also known as the Evarts Act), which created the U.S. Court of Appeals. (1)

Analysis and Relevance

The Judicary is one of the three basic functional elements of the American system of government at both the national and state levels. An independent Judiciary (U.S.) that possesses power approaching or equivalent to the executive and legislative branches is an essential component for implementing both the separation of power and checks and balances concepts. It is the function of the Judiciary to interpret the law in order to preserve the functional boundaries among the branches and levels of government. Through the power of judicial review, the courts can check the improper or excessive exercise of power by another branch. The Judiciary also acts to resolve disputes between private and public parties as well as to preside over the procedures devoted to fact-finding and interpretation of law. (2)

Judiciary Definition

That which is done while administering justice; the judges taken collectively; as, the liberties of the people are secured by a wise and independent judiciary. (3)

Judiciary and Judicial Procedure in the U.S. Code

28 U.S.C. § 1 : US Code – Section 1: Number of justices; quorum

This description of the Judiciary and Judicial Procedure tracks the language of the U.S. Code, except that, sometimes, we use plain English and that we may refer to the “Act” (meaning Judiciary and Judicial Procedure) rather than to the “subchapter” or the “title” of the United States Code.

U.S. Code Citation

  • United States Code – Section 1
  • Head of the Section: Number of justices; quorum
