United States District Court

The United States District Court is a federal court where civil and criminal cases are tried. Each state has at least one district court, and these courts handle a range of issues, including disputes involving federal laws, constitutional questions, and cases where the U.S. government is a party. District courts are the first level of the federal judiciary, and their decisions can be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals. Judges in these courts are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, serving lifetime appointments to ensure impartiality and independence.
