Abstract

This Article seeks to examine the difficult future facing our federal judicial system, to analyze the constitutional mandate of our national courts, and to explore from a comparativist perspective the possibility of a substantial expansion and subject matter specialization of our national court system. As a beginning place for such specialization, this Article recommends that Congress "ordain and establish" a new, separate national criminal court system.
