What is the highest federal court in the United States?
The Circuit Court of Appeals
The Federal District Court
The Supreme Court
The National Judicial Conference
The correct answer is: The Supreme Court
The Circuit Court of Appeals and the Federal District Court are both lower federal courts. The Circuit Court of Appeals hears appeals from the District Courts and the Federal District Court is the trial court for federal cases. The National Judicial Conference is not a court at all, but rather a conference for federal judges to discuss legal and judicial issues. Only the Supreme Court of the United States is the highest federal court, with ultimate authority for interpreting the Constitution and federal laws. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
