True (A+)
Yes they are the court where any case in the federal system begins its life.
The lowest general level in the Federal System is the Federal District Court, which sits in a defined federal district. An example would be the "Federal district Court for the Western District of Oklahoma" This district court answers to the Circuit Court ( e.g. 10th Circuit etc.) and then to the US Supreme Court by Certiori
In the Federal Court System, the US District Courts ARE the lowest level of court, and have original jurisdiction (over FEDERAL offenses) within their assigned districts (of which, I believe, there are 94).

The US District Courts (of which there 94) are the lowest level of the Federal courts.
The federal court system has three main levels: district courts (the trial court), circuit courts which are the first level of appeal, and the Supreme Court of the United States, the final level of appeal in the federal system.
The case must first be heard at the lowest level of court. Most states have a court system that exists in the same area as a federal magistrate court or federal district court. The case must be decided by the lower court and appealed to a higher court. In the federal system this is the circuit court. Once all the lower courts have been exhausted, the lawyers may apply to be heard by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court will determine which cases it will hear.
Federal judges on the US Supreme Court are called justices.
In the US federal court system, you may be referring to the US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts, which are sometimes called intermediate appellate courts because they are between the US District Court (trial court) and the Supreme Court of the United States (final appellate court).
