The Judiciary Act of 1789, also known as the 1789 Judiciary
Act, officially titled, “An Act to Establish the Judicial Courts of the United
States. The Act basically established the federal court system of the United
States of America because it was only sketched in general terms in the U.S.
Constitution.
The act
divided the federal court system into a three-part judiciary --- district
courts, circuit courts, and Supreme Court. It also outlined the exact roles of these
courts in the system.
