The judicial branch of the U.S. government is the system of federal courts and judges that interprets laws made by the legislative branch and enforced by the executive branch. At the top of the judicial branch are the nine justices of the Supreme Court, the highest court in the United States.
Explanation: The federal courts' most important power is that of judicial review, but Article III of the Constitution governs the appointment, judges can be removed from office only through impeachment by the House of Representatives and conviction by the Senate.
