The Supreme Court of the United States is the highest court in the United States. It has ultimate appellate jurisdiction over all federal courts and over state court cases involving issues of federal law, and original jurisdiction over a small range of cases.

Once appointed, justices have life tenure unless they resign, retire, or are removed after impeachment.
