The federal trial court is the United States District Court, of which there are 94 venues.

The first level federal appellate court is the United States Court of Appeals, which sits in 13 numbered Circuits, and also has a District of Columbia Circuit, a Federal Circuit and Armed Forces Circuit (the latter two being specific subject-matter venues rather than geographically-defined venues of the court).

What are the trial courts for the federal court system?

The 94 US District Courts are the trial courts of the federal judicial branch. The district courts were created by Congress and have jurisdiction to hear most categories of federal cases, civil and criminal. There are 94 federal districts, at least one in each state, DC, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. The US District Courts hear cases of general jurisdiction (criminal and civil cases). The US District Courts hear 80% of trial cases; however, the "federal court system" is broader than the Judicial Branch and the US Special Courts that hold the other 20% of federal trials. The US Special Courts include US Bankruptcy Courts, US Tax Courts, the US Court of Federal Claims and several other courts of limited jurisdiction established under Congress authority in Article I of the Constitution. While these are part of the federal court system, they are not part of the Judicial Branch but part of the Legislative Branch.
