District Courts

District Courts are the general trial courts in the U.S. federal court system. They handle a wide range of cases, including civil disputes, criminal prosecutions, and constitutional matters. Each state has at least one District Court, and larger states may have several. Judges in these courts hear evidence, make rulings, and can conduct jury trials. Their decisions can be appealed to Circuit Courts of Appeals. Overall, District Courts are essential for resolving legal issues and ensuring justice at the federal level.
