The judiciary also uses non-appropriated funds to offset its appropriations requirement. The majority of these non- appropriated funds are derived from the collection of fees, primarily court filing fees. The judiciary's annual appropriations request reflects the net needs of the judiciary after the use of non-appropriated funds. As a coequal branch of government, the judiciary transmits its budget request to the President, who includes it, without change, in his annual budget request to Congress. Appropriations for the judiciary are typically included in the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations bill. Table 1 presents the FY2024 discretionary enacted level and the FY2025 discretionary request for each account. The enacted levels are based on amounts included in regular FY2024 appropriations.

Court of Appeas for the Federal Circuit This court, consisting of 12 judges, exercises jurisdiction over certain lower court rulings on patents and trademarks, international trade, and federal claims cases. The FY2025 discretionary budget request is $39.1 million, an increase of 6.5% over the FY2024 enacted level. U.S. Court of international Trade This court has exclusive nationwide jurisdiction over civil actions against the United States, its agencies, and its officers and certain civil actions brought by the United States arising out of import transactions and the administration and enforcement of federal customs and international trade laws.
