what did the judiciary act of 1789 establish

The Judiciary Act of 1789 established the structure and basic powers of the federal court system in the United States.

Core things it established

• A three‑level federal judiciary: Supreme Court, circuit courts, and district courts.

• The Supreme Court with 6 justices (1 Chief Justice and 5 Associate Justices).

• Federal district courts in each state to handle admiralty/maritime and other federal cases.

• Federal circuit courts as the main trial courts, with some appellate jurisdiction.

• The office of the Attorney General to represent the United States before the Supreme Court.

• U.S. attorneys and U.S. marshals for each federal judicial district.

In short, the Act turned the Constitution’s brief outline of a “Supreme Court and inferior courts” into a working federal court system whose basic framework still exists today.
