Florida's State judiciary consists of a Supreme Court of Florida, five District Courts of Appeal, each hearing appeals from a certain number of Florida's twenty judicial circuits, each containing a Circuit Court, and sixty-seven County Courts.
Depending on (1) the amounts in controversy in civil matters; and (2) subject-matter jurisdiction as set forth in the Florida Constitution and in State statute, your general trial court may be a County Court, or it may be a Circuit Court. Removing to or originating in Federal Court, Florida's federal judiciary consists of the United States District Courts for the Northern, Middle, and Southern Districts of Florida (Florida's federal appellate court is the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit--and from there, appeal is by writ of certoriari only by the Supreme Court of the United States).

It depends on the setup of your state's judicial system. In some states, cases heard by a magistrate or other lower court can be appealed to a court of common pleas, or "general trial court". Generally, however, cases are appealed to appellate courts and not to trial courts.
A Magistrate's Court is lower on the scale of judicial hierarchy than a Court of General Sessions.
Special categories under the jurisdiction of general trial courts include family law cases, juvenile matters, probate cases, and small claims disputes. These specialized areas require specific knowledge and expertise, which is why they are handled separately within the general trial court system.
US District Courts are the trial courts of general jurisdiction; they are the entry level of the federal court system.
