Definition:
"The judicial branch hears cases that challenge or require interpretation
of the legislation passed by Congress and signed by the President. It
consists of the Supreme Court and the lower federal courts. Appointees to
the federal bench serve for life or until they voluntarily resign or
retire.
The Supreme Court is the most visible of
all the federal courts. The number of Justices is determined by Congress
rather than the Constitution, and since 1869, the Court has been composed
of one Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices. Justices are nominated
by the President and confirmed by the Senate."
