Sorry And here's your shmoop du jour brought to you

00:04

by legislative courts A place for judges to want to

00:08

branch out a little bit Article one courts what and

00:12

hear potential answers Most of the constitution's language about our

00:17

nation's judicial system has found an article three which describes

00:21

the supreme court and delegates the responsibility for setting up

00:25

lower courts to congress However article one which outlines the

00:29

legislative branch also provides for some judicious courses of action

00:34

All right we'll do Article one courts a not exist

00:37

We had shmoop love a good conspiracy theory as much

00:40

as the next secret government alien guy But article one

00:43

courts also known as special for legislative courts very much

00:48

do exist though they handle different affairs than the other

00:51

courts Outlining article three So that gets rid eh Two

00:54

article one Courts b have roughly one third of the

00:57

power of article three courts You don't think one over

01:01

three That'd be an easy way to remember things but

01:04

the numbers have nothing to do with the levels of

01:06

power They simply refer to which part of the constitution

01:09

explains their form and function Article one courts d part

01:13

Of the appellate system will the appellate system refers to

01:16

courts that review cases that have already gone to trial

01:21

So they focus on questions of law not questions of

01:24

fact and no pellets are not reviewing what hamsters make

01:28

Remember how he said the constitution delegated congress the ability

01:31

to set up lower courts while congress set up the

01:34

u s court of appeals in eighteen ninety one to

01:37

help the supreme court with its growing course load about

01:40

lending illegal hands code article one courts e include local

01:44

courts like family court local ports like family or traffic

01:48

court are set up by systems within cities and states

01:51

not the constitution So if he can't court enough favour

01:55

well that means article one Courts see exercise a specialized

01:59

jurisdiction over a narrow set of issues such as veterans

02:03

claims Two article one Court steals with special cases involving

02:06

federal institutions like the irs or the department of veterans

02:10

affairs Because these institutions were created by congress which is

02:13

described in article one of the constitution courts that handle

02:17

their issues are referred to as surprise surprise article one

02:20

courts So c is the correct answer because they hear

02:23

federal cases that fall outside the margins of regular lawsuits

02:27

These special courts give the other lower floor it's a 00:02:30.2 --> [endTime] bit of well an inferiority complex
