Federal Court System

Quoting it.

"The term federal court can actually refer to one of two types of courts. The first type of court is what is known as an Article III court. These courts get their name from the fact that they derive their power from Article III of the Constitution. These courts include (1) the U.S. District Courts, (2) the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal, and (3) the U.S. Supreme Court. They also include two special courts: (a) the U.S. Court of Claims and (b) the U.S. Court of International Trade. These courts are special because, unlike the other courts, they are not courts of general jurisdiction. Courts of general jurisdiction can hear almost any case. All judges of Article III courts are appointed by the President of the United States with the advice and consent of the Senate and hold office during good behavior."

need some verification or we should correct this article here.
 * Well, I have no doubt that the Federal Court website correctly identifies the status of the Court of Federal Claims, so please change the article accordingly. Cheers! bd2412  T 08:42, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I take that back. The court's own website says that it's an Article I court with fifteen year terms (so, by definition, can't be Article III). bd2412  T 08:45, 10 November 2006 (UTC)


 * This probably is too theoretical, but all Federal courts (save for the Supreme Court) are created pursuant to Congress' Art. I power. Art. I Courts exercise judicial power, but because their jurisdiction is over things that need not be adjudicated judicially, their judges need not have life tenure (pursuant to Art. III)LawScalion
 * Article III specifically states: "The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish". Ergo, Article vests Congress with the power to create Article III courts - and those courts can have whatever jurisdiction Congress desires, so long as it does not exceed the Constitution. bd2412  T 13:48, 9 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Also, there should be a link to the "Vaccine Court" section, since that is a part of the CFC.LawScalion

George W. Miller
There is an active CFC page on George W. Miller which gives no indication that he is anything but a current judge on the court. Incidentally, the linked page currently in the article is on a different George W. Miller. There is a draft on the judge at Draft:George W. Miller (judge).

History and United States Court of Claims
This is not (yet) a formal merger proposal, but it seems to me that pretty much the entire History section of this article as it relates to anything before 1982 ought to be moved into the article for United States Court of Claims, to the extent it isn't there already. Then this article could briefly explain how this court descended from that court, and direct the reader to the other article for coverage of that period. It does not make a lot of sense to me to have the 1855-1982 history of this court both here and there, where inconsistencies can arise -- and, in fact, the articles are not identical, despite covering the exact same institution for the exact same period.

Before I take the time to do it, though, I wanted to put a note here to see if there is any disagreement, or if someone else would like to make the edit, since I'm not sure when I would get to it. Thanks. --EightYearBreak (talk) 18:23, 30 August 2021 (UTC)
