Article III of the Constitution describes the power of the Supreme Court by establishing it as the highest court in the land, with the authority to interpret the Constitution and federal laws, resolve disputes between states, and hear cases involving ambassadors and public ministers.
The impact of the Erie Railroad Co. v. Tompkins case was significant because it established the principle of outcome-determinative choice of law, which essentially means that state law applies in diversity cases unless there is a federal law that directly conflicts with it.
The legacy of the Judiciary Act in American government today can be recognized through the continued existence and function of the federal court system it established, including the Supreme Court and lower federal courts.
The leader of the Justice Department is the Attorney General.
A contrast between state criminal and civil trials is that criminal trials involve the government prosecuting an individual for violating a criminal law, while civil trials involve two parties (individuals or entities) in a dispute seeking resolution, typically involving damages or some form of relief.
