What are three levels of courts in our country?
There are actually more than three levels of courts in the New Hampshire court system, depending on how you define a "level". The Supreme Court is the state's highest court and only appellate court; it hears appeals from all of the lower courts. Superior Court is the highest-level trial court, the only court that provides jury trials, and hears all levels of criminal cases in addition to civil and family cases. District Courts are mainly local courts; they hear misdemeanor criminal cases and civil matters such as small claims and landlord-tenant cases, as well as family cases. So these may be the three "levels" you're asking about - Supreme/Superior/District. But there are two other types of courts in New Hampshire: Family Division, which hears family cases in some areas; and Probate Court, which hears wills/probate/guardianship/adoption type cases. I found this information at the second related link below, but you can use Court Reference to find information about any court system in the U.S.

Not really, although there are a few exceptions. The US Supreme Court hears most cases under its appellate (appeals) jurisdiction; however, the Constitution grants the Court original (trial) jurisdiction over disputes between the states and cases involving ambassadors and other foreign dignitaries (the latter are currently tried in US District Court), so there is a limited class of cases that may be "tried" in the Supreme Court. Nevertheless, the Supreme Court is not considered a "federal trial court."
