The Federal Court ((フランス語:Cour fédérale)) is a Canadian trial court that hears cases arising under certain areas of federal law. The Federal Court is an inferior court with nationwide jurisdiction. The Court was created on July 2, 2003 by the ''(Courts Administration Service Act )'' when it and the Federal Court of Appeal were split from their predecessor, the Federal Court of Canada (which was created June 1, 1971, through the enactment of the ''Federal Court Act'', subsequently renamed the ''(Federal Courts Act )''). The Court's authority comes from the ''Federal Courts Act''. On October 24, 2008, the Federal Court was given its own Armorial bearings by the Governor General, the third court in Canada to be given its own Coat of Arms – after the Court Martial Appeal Court of Canada and Ontario Superior Court of Justice. The coat of arms features a newly created fantastical creature, the winged sea caribou, as the supporters, representing the provision of justice on air, land and sea. ==Structure== The Federal Court consists of a Chief Justice and thirty-two other judges. Currently, there are 28 full-time judges (leaving five vacancies in the Court), along with four supernumerary judges, six deputy judges, and six prothonotaries. Law Clerks are hired for one-year terms to help the judges research and prepare decisions. They are generally assigned to a particular judge. Judges' salaries are determined annually by the Judicial Compensation and Benefits Commission. Chief Justice receives $315,900 while other judges receives $288,100 annually.〔''Judges Act'', s 10〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Federal Court (Canada)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
