The United States Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC),also called the FISA Court,is a U.S. federal court established under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) to oversee requests for surveillance warrants against foreign spies inside the United States by federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies.
In the law of the United States,a special master is an official appointed by a judge to ensure judicial orders are followed,or in the alternative,to hear evidence on behalf of the judge and make recommendations to the judge as to the disposition of a matter. The special master should not be confused with the traditional common law concept of a master,a judge of the High Court entrusted to deal with summary and administrative matters falling short of a full trial.
