The State Circuit Courts. In the federal system, the US District Courts.
In the federal system, United States District Courts are the lowest level of courts. In the state systems, the names of the lowest level of courts vary by state (but they are usually called district or county courts).
The u.s. District Courts are the trial courts of all Federal Court Systems. Both civil and criminal cases are filed here.
In the federal Judicial Branch, the intermediate appellate courts are the thirteen US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts. The states use different naming conventions for their intermediate appellate courts.
Well first you multiply the number of penguins in Antarctica by the number of lions in Africa to get 456. Then you find the number of food courts in the united states and subtract the number of food courts everywhere else in the US. Add the first number and the second number together to get the number of food courts in New York!
Inferior courts refer to trial courts (or courts of original jurisdiction), as opposed to appellate courts, in both the state or federal court systems. In the federal court system, the inferior courts typically refer to US District Courts, but may also refer to special courts, such as the US Court of Federal Claims, as well as territorial courts that function as district courts for US territories such as the US Virgin Islands, Guam, etc.

Are you asking what makes up the American Court System? Starting with the State court systems - from the lowest to the highest: Municipal courts (which can be made up of Justice of the Peace Courts or Magistrate Courts) - County Courts - State Circuit Courts - State Courts of Appeal - State Supreme Court. The federal court system consists of: US District Courts - Courts of Appeal (one for each federal court district) - US Supreme Court.
This is admittedly an educated guess and may be applicable only in the US: But I believe the answer would be Municipal Courts or County-level court systems probably hear the most cases due simply to the sheer number of misdemeanor and traffic cases that are heard each day.
