94 District Courts

In the United States, there are 94 District Courts, which are the general trial courts of the federal court system. Each District Court has jurisdiction over a specific geographic area, allowing them to hear a wide range of civil and criminal cases. These courts handle matters such as federal law violations, disputes between states, and cases involving the federal government. Decisions made in District Courts can be appealed to the U.S. Courts of Appeals, making them crucial for the federal judicial process. Essentially, they serve as the first level of federal legal proceedings.
