              or authority to
             hear and decide
              a case, is also
               established
                 (III, 2, 1)
The Federal
    Courts have
  jurisdiction over
the following areas
                     the Constitution
                       federal laws
                   law of the high seas
         disputes involving the U.S. Government

               court in
                  the
                 land
The Supreme Court
    rarely has original
jurisdiction - almost all of
 the cases that come to
 the Supreme Court are
       from appeals
The Justices



      9 Justices, including a Chief Justice
appointed by the President, they hold their terms
     until they die, resign, or are impeached
         very powerful, very prestigious
The Supreme Court has the power of

          judicial review
   this allows the Court to
      review any law and
           decide if it is
         unconstitutional
       From Marbury v.
         Madison, 1803
  but only if the law comes
     to the Court in a case
The Supreme
  Court is the
final authority
     on the
  Constitution
and the laws of
   the United
    States.
How can a
Supreme Court
 decision be
 overturned?
 A new decision
  by the Court
