Answer 1

Try starting with reading the Constitution. That will give you the terms for a federal judge (Article II), the various jurisdictions of the Supreme Court (Article II), and the rights of the accused (5th and 6th Amendments).

The number of district and appellate courts is not defined in the constitution, but determined by Congress. That can be found at the second link below.

For definitions of legal terms, you can use the dictionary at Findlaw (third link below)

I'll give you the answer to appellate practice. An appellate court accepts the factual record that was determined at trial, and may apply those facts to the law based on the standard of review. So, they do "consider" the facts, but they rarely "determine" new facts.

And Marbury v. Madison had three very important holdings. You can read the case for yourself at the fourth link below.

The more you do yourself, the better your understanding of the law will be, and the more useful that knowledge will be to you.
