Nation's Court's Online is intended as an easy-to-use reference guide for those interested in the U.S. court system.

Those who will find Nation's Court's Online useful and instructive include attorneys, paralegals, law students and members of the general public who pay attention to the nation's judiciary and legal issues.

Nation's Courts Online consists of four major services: 
    (1) A comprehensive directory of the nation's federal, state and county courts and their websites, including federal judicial confirmations (or rejections) as they occur, and a complete list of federal court vacancies and those nominated to fill these vacancies plus biographical information on federal nominees and sitting judges. 

    (2) Federal and State Court Organization Charts. The state charts provide comprehensive jurisdictional information at each court level of the state's judiciary, from the appellate courts of each state to that of the courts of general jurisdiction (the trial courts) to the courts of limited jurisdiction (family court, probate court, municipal court, etc.). 

    (3) Explanatory material on the courts and how they operate.

    (4) Federal and state website links are provided throughout, for quick access to the information you seek.

The courts play a vital role in our society, and we intend that Nation's Courts Online keep you informed and up-to-date.
