The Federal Court System and How it Works
Your ancestors may have had dealings with the Federal Court System if they had a land dispute, a bankruptcy, a naturalization issue or other lawsuits that originated in the Federal Courts.
After you view this video you will know more about the history of our Federal Court system and its antecedents in the English court system and how it began with the passage of the United States Constitution. Subsequently it has developed into a complex system with both general trial courts, specialized courts and appeals courts culminating in the U.S. Supreme Court. You will know more about this complex system and how it works.
