In the District of Columbia, legal cases are tried in the US District Court for the District of Columbia, which is part of the federal court system because Washington, DC, is federal territory, not a state. Similarly, each US Territory (e.g., US Virgin Islands, Guam, Northern Marianna Islands) has a territorial court that operates as a remote district court. Appeals of cases heard in territorial courts are filed with whichever US Court of Appeals Circuit Court has jurisdiction over that particular territory.
Cases appealed from US District Courts typically go to the US Court of Appeals Circuit Court for the territorial Circuit to which that District Court belongs. Under certain circumstances, US District Court cases may go directly to the US Supreme Courtunder direct or expedited appeal, but the Circuit Courts hear the majority of appeals from District Courts.
The United States district courts are the general trial courts of the United States federal court system. Both civil and criminal cases are filed in the district court, which is a court of law, equity, and admiralty. Each federal judicial district has at least one courthouse, and many districts have more than one. The formal name of a district court is "the United States District Court for" the name of the district-for example, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. There are 89 districts in the 50 States, with a total of 94 districts including territories. The United States courts of appeals (or circuit courts) are the intermediate appellate courts of the United States federal court system. A court of appeals decides appeals from the district courts within its federal judicial circuit, and in some instances from other designated federal courts and administrative agencies. The circuit courts have the following jurisdictions: Federal Circuit (Washington) D.C. Circuit (Washington) * District of Columbia 1st Circuit (Boston) * Maine * Massachusetts * New Hampshire * Puerto Rico * Rhode Island 2nd Circuit (New York) * Connecticut * New York * Vermont 3rd Circuit (Philadelphia) * Delaware * New Jersey * Pennsylvania * U.S. Virgin Islands 4th Circuit (Richmond) * Maryland * North Carolina * South Carolina * Virginia * West Virginia 5th Circuit (New Orleans) * Louisiana * Mississippi * Texas 6th Circuit (Cincinnati) * Kentucky * Michigan * Ohio * Tennessee 7th Circuit (Chicago) * Illinois * Indiana * Wisconsin 8th Circuit (St. Louis) * Arkansas * Iowa * Minnesota * Missouri * Nebraska * North Dakota * South Dakota 9th Circuit (San Francisco) * Alaska * Arizona * California * Guam * Hawaii * Idaho * Montana * Nevada * Northern Mariana Islands * Oregon * Washington 10th Circuit (Denver) * Colorado * Kansas * New Mexico * Oklahoma * Utah * Wyoming 11th Circuit (Atlanta) * Alabama * Florida * Georgia
There are two lower federal court systems. One is the United States District Courts, of which there are 94 district and territorial courts through the United States and its territories and possessions. These are usually considered trial courts. Above the federal district courts are the United States Courts of Appeal, of which there are 13 circuits, numbered one through eleven, and the United States Court of Appeal for the District of Columbia Circuit and the United States Court of Appeal for the Federal Circuit. These are usually considered appellate courts, to which cases decided by the district courts are, in some cases, appealed to. The 11 circuit courts and the District of Columbia circuit court are courts that have geographical areas of jurisdiction, and the U.S. Court of Appeal for the Federal Circuit is an appellate court having certain subject-matter jurisdiction.
