US District Courts are the primary trial courts of the federal court system and are required to hear, or dispose of in some other way, all cases that come before them. Many cases are resolved at the District Court level; not all cases are appealed; some are not eligible for appeal. This leaves a smaller pool of cases for the Circuit Courts, and an even smaller pool for the US Supreme Court. The Supreme Court exercises full discretion over the cases they choose, while District Courts are mandated to consider all cases brought before them over which they have jurisdiction.
