​A court's purpose is to settle disputes.

The Constitution establishes the U.S. Supreme Court

and gives Congress the power

to create any lower courts it deems necessary.

Congress has established the U.S. District Courts, 
Appeals Courts, and certain specialty courts.

State and local courts are controlled by state laws.
