The only federal court required by the United States Constitution is the Supreme Court, specified in Article III. Congress has created all other federal courts and their jurisdictions. The Constitution does not indicate how many justices shall be on the Supreme Court nor what its appellate jurisdiction shall be. Originally there were six justices on the Supreme Court; now there are nine justices.

For more information about the U.S. Supreme Court, see the Political Science Factsheet: The Federal Judiciary in the Politics Resource Center.
