The judicial branch is one of the three branches of the United States government. Its main job is to interpret and apply the law. Courts in the judicial branch decide cases and resolve disagreements about the law. They also decide if a law follows the U.S. Constitution.

One important part of the judicial branch is the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is the highest court in the United States. It reviews important legal cases and makes final decisions about how the Constitution should be understood.

Another part of the judicial branch is the system of federal courts. Federal courts hear cases about federal laws, the Constitution, and disputes between states or citizens from different states. These courts work together with the Supreme Court to make sure that laws are interpreted fairly and consistently across the country.
