USAs føderale rettsvesen

Fra Wikipedia, den frie encyklopedi
Føderale kretser

USAs føderale rettsvesen er domstolsystemet som er organisert gjennom den føderale grunnloven og andre føderale lover. Systemet består i hovedsak av tre nivåer: distriktrettene, appellrettene og høyesteretten. I tillegg er det føderale rettssystemet delt i en sivil og en militær del. Etter maktfordelingsprinsippet er rettsvesenet totalt uavhengig av den lovgivende makten (Kongressen) og den utøvende makten (Presidenten). Det føderale rettsvesenet ledes av høyesterettsjustitiarius, som er den dømmende maktens administrative overhode. I denne egenskap støttes han av Det administrative kontor for de føderale domstolene (Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts).

Føderale dommere utnevnes på livstid av den amerikanske presidenten med godkjennelse av Senatet.
