What courts hold jury trials?
In federal court, the district courts can have jury trials. If the opposing parties in a suit agree to waive their right to a jury trial, the judge may preside and enter a verdict. In state court, the answer is less straightforward because each state has its own court structure. States often have specialized courts specifically for family law, probate, or small claims, but generally there are 3 basic levels in a state court system: 1. Supreme Court (the highest court in the state) [no jury] 2. Appellate (or appeals) courts [no jury] 3. Trial courts [jury]. The trial courts are called by different names in different states so it's confusing (for example, in California trial courts are called 'superior courts' and in Alabama they are called 'circuit courts.')
