Question:
Are there records of federal courts under the Articles of Confederation?
Answer
Yes. Evidently such cases are still tracked.
Looking specifically for Piracy Court Cases from, March 1, 1781 - March 4, 1789 the dates the Articles of Confederation was ratified and when governance under the United States Constitution was begun.
Here is one case, I found several cases, articles, and blog posts searching for: United States, "piracy court" 1781-1789, or ship seizures in that time....
- The United States Supreme Court Records - THE RESOLUTION, 2 U.S. 1 (1781) Miller et. al. Libellants and Appellants v. The Ship Resolution, and Ingersoll, Claimant and Appellee. Federal Court of Appeals, August Session, 1781
Details
Technically there was no "judicial branch" under the articles of confederation. No executive branch either. Only a single chambered legislature.
Judicial Learning Center
The national government under the Articles of Confederation consisted of a single legislative body, called the Congress of the United States. The national government had limited powers under the Articles of Confederation. For example, the central government could not levy taxes or regulate commerce. Additionally, there was not an executive or judicial branch of government under the Articles.
This narrows down our search. We are looking specifically for issues dealing with Piracy and seizures of vessels between the dates March 1, 1781 - March 4, 1789 when the Articles of Confederation were in effect.
Articles of Confederation Article 9.
..... appointing courts for the trial of piracies and felonies committed on the high seas; and establishing courts for receiving and determining finally appeals in all cases of captures; ........
I found the previously mentioned case records on the Justia site dealing with Federal court records.

There were also a number of other sites, records and articles which came up.
