A "kangaroo court" refers to sham legal proceedings where the outcome is decided more or less in advance, regardless of witnesses and the appearance of genuine proceedings. Evidence may be manipulated and one-sided.

Such a court is usually unauthorised and does not observe the usual protocol of a court of law.

It really depends what kind of courts you are talking about and where the courts are. If the courts are federal, then a district court is a trial court and a circuit court is an appeals court, which may review a trial decision from a district court. For state courts, the difference between a district court and a circuit court will depend on what state the courts are in. Many states have courts called "district court" and "circuit court," but what kinds of cases these courts handle differs state to state.
