The US federal judiciary system originates from Article 3 of the Constitution. It establishes a dual court system with both federal and state courts. The federal court system has three levels - district courts as the trial courts, appellate courts called circuit courts, and the Supreme Court as the highest appellate court. State court systems also have trial courts, appellate courts, and state supreme courts, though federal law takes precedence. The Supreme Court has the power of judicial review to determine the constitutionality of laws, as established in the 1803 case Marbury v. Madison. It currently has 9 justices including the Chief Justice, who are nominated by the President and approved by the Senate to serve lifetime terms.
