Oregon District Court

The Oregon District Court refers to a federal court that serves the state of Oregon. It handles cases involving federal law, such as civil rights, immigration, and criminal offenses that cross state lines or involve federal agencies. District courts are the first level of the federal court system, where most federal cases begin. Judges in this court hear evidence, rule on legal issues, and make decisions on cases. Appeals from this court go to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.
