Editing United States federal judge (section)

==Non-Article III judges==
Unlike the judges of Article III courts, non-Article III judges are appointed for specified terms of office. Examples include [[United States magistrate judge]]s and judges of the [[United States bankruptcy court]]s, [[United States Tax Court]], [[United States Court of Federal Claims]], and [[United States territorial court]]s. Although the term "non-Article III judges" is used to describe the absence of tenure and salary protection, bankruptcy courts are formally designated as divisions of U.S. District Courts, whose district judges are Article III judicial officers. Moreover, in ''Freytag v. Commissioner'', 501 U.S. 868 (1991), the Supreme Court concluded that the judges of the U.S. Tax Court (and their special trial judges) exercise a portion of "the judicial power of the United States."
