My goal is to have a career in the Federal judiciary of the United States.
The federal courts are three levels i believe.
You are right it is 3 levels the district courts, circuit courts and the Supreme Court
How would that compare with court of appeals and legal issues that conflict?
In the federal courts, the primary appellate courts are the U.S. courts then they form alternative dispute resolution in which an arbitrator issues a judgment on the legal issues. It is a lot to take in that is why the degree is so intense.
So from there one could as a last resort go to the supreme court if needed with a case?
