| | MBA: Federal Court System |
| | The federal judicial system parallels the state judicial system; but the federal courts have limited jurisdiction. | | | Federal courts may exercise authority only in those disputes in which they have been authorized to act under the United States Constitution through a statute enacted by the United States Congress. | | | But, below the Supreme Court, the state courts are frequently called upon to interpret federal law and the lower federal courts frequently interpret state law to determine specifically whether state law is consistent with the federal constitution. |

| | The Federal Court of Australia was created by the Federal Court of Australia Act 1976 and began to exercise its jurisdiction on 1 February 1977. | | | Chapter III also gives the Commonwealth Parliament power to create other federal courts (for example, the Federal Court and the Family Court), and to vest federal judicial power in such courts and in courts of the States. | | | The High Court of Australia, however, is the final court of appeal in respect of all matters, whether decided in Federal or State jurisdictions, and the Federal Parliament is empowered under the Constitution to invest State courts with Federal jurisdiction. |

| | Within the universe of federal cases that may be pursued as capital crimes, cases in which the death penalty is actually sought depend on subsequent exercises of prosecutorial judgment and discretion. | | | Federal authorities are often better able to carry out effective prosecutions in this area for such reasons as the complexity of drug enterprise cases, their multi jurisdictional character, and the availability to federal prosecutors of greater investigative resources or more effective legal tools. | | | The federal death penalty was effectively revived on a broader basis through provisions of the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, which added death penalty authorizations to many additional offense provisions, and established general statutory procedures for seeking and imposing capital sentences. |
