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 lowest point in Missouri is called Saint Francis River!
Circuit courts do hear most of the criminal cases in Missouri, but circuit courts also hear civil, family law, and a variety of other cases. Some minor criminal offenses may be heard by municipal courts, which have jurisdiction over ordinance violations that occur within a particular town or city's limits. For more information on Missouri courts, visit the Missouri Courts Directory related link.
Courts below trial courts handle crimes punishable by fine only. Depending on the state (and the population where you live), these courts are titled county courts, village courts, town courts, municipal courts, etc. They are the lowest courts. To find the lowest court where you live, call the clerk in the village, town, city or county you live in and ask what the lowest court is.
