U.S. Court of Federal Claims
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
The United States Court of Federal Claims is an Article I court formed in 1982 as a successor to the Court of Claims. Because it is not an Article III court, the judges are not granted lifetime tenure; instead they are nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate for a term of fifteen years.
The U.S. Court of Federal Claims has limited jurisdiction. It can only hear claims for money that arise from the Constitution, federal statutes, executive regulations, or contracts, express or implied-in-fact, with the United States Federal Government.
