Welcome to the website of the National Courts Section of the Department of Justice. The intent of this site is to provide an overview both of the substantive work performed by National Courts and of employment with the Section. National Courts is one of the largest and most active litigating sections in the Department. We are a part of the Commercial Litigation Branch, which is in turn part of the Civil Division, one the Department's five major litigating components. We handle matters in the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the United States Court of Federal Claims, and the United States Court of International Trade, as well as occasional matters in other federal district and circuit courts and in administrative tribunals. Our practice areas include government contracts, constitutional claims, pay claims, personnel appeals, veterans benefits appeals, and international trade matters.
