What is the work of California's trial courts?
In California, trial courts are called Superior Courts. There used to be Justice Courts (small courts in tiny counties, whose judges were not lawyers and often were not full time). There also used to be Municipal Courts (limited jurisdiction courts, which were not elected county-wide). These have all been converted and consolidated into the Superior Court System whose judges are elected county-wide.There are also Pro-Tem judges who are lawyers appointed to sit for the day, when a judge or commissioner is absent. There are also Commissioners who are hired by the court, they function largely as judges and they have some specified areas of original jurisdiction. Generally, you have the right to have cases (except for infractions and small-claims) heard by a regular judge, however it often creates delay or inconvenience to do so.Cases of limited jurisdiction still exist, although they are heard by Superior Court Judicial Officers. Limited jurisdiction cases still have an appeal to the Superior Court Appellate Department.
What are the courts in Massachusetts state's court system?
Massachusetts has trial courts and appeals courts. At the trial court level, Massachusetts has Superior Courts, District Courts, Probate and Family Courts, Housing Courts, Juvenile Courts, Boston Municipal Courts, and the Land Court. All of these except for the Superior Courts have limited jurisdiction over particular kinds of cases. These limitations are either based on the subject matter of the case or, regarding civil and criminal cases, on the severity of crime or amount of money in controversy. Superior Courts have general jurisdiction over all levels of civil and criminal cases that may be heard at the state court level, but generally only hear a case if it is beyond the jurisdiction of one of the other types of courts. Each county in Massachusetts has its own set of these different types of courts, and may have multiple Superior Courts or District Courts or no Housing Court depending on the needs of the county.

United States District CourtsThe country is divided into many federal judicial "districts" each with its own US District Court and panel of judges. Any cases emanating from lower courts within the district would begin with that particular "District Court" and then, if necessary, proceed to the US Court of Appeals for [x] Circuit (whatever Circuit the particularly District Court happens to be in). The court with "original jurisdiction" is a trial court, the entry point into the judiciary. For cases of general jurisdiction, the United States District Courts have original jurisdiction over most cases. There are also "special" or "limited subject matter" jurisdiction courts, such as US Tax Court and US Bankruptcy Court that fall under the District Court umbrella (there are many limited subject matter courts that are not part of the District Court system, but these probably hear fewer cases each year). The US Supreme Court also hears a limited number of cases under original jurisdiction, mostly disputes between the states.
