State court hear a lot more cases. For criminal law the federal government must bring charges to a defendant for violating a federal law. Or if crime is committed in multiple states by the same party then the case may go to a federal district court. But these cases are relatively rare. In civil law the answer would still be the state courts. Civil law consist of divourse, small claims, constitutional and several other fields but generally most would start out in state court. It depends on jurisdiction.
