Hello, my next job is going to be working in a federal court which is a part of the federal judiciary of the USA. Are you familiar with this branch?
no im not, can you give me some more information ont hat?
The federal judiciary is one of 3 branches of the US federal government. The executive branch (president) is another example.
oh ok. so what kind of work would you do in therre?
I will not be working in the Supreme Court which is the court of last resort. Instead I will likely work in an appellate court.
what is an appellate court do?
Appellate courts operate under discretionary review. The court can choose which cases to hear and my job is to help facilitate these decisions.
oh so they decide which ones should go to trial?
Not quite, trial courts usually hear a case initially and then and appellate court serves as an intermediate court to make a decision before the supreme court (last resort).
oh wow! that sounds like a really cool job
