Best Answer: The United States has 94 Federal District Courts (Trial Courts... at least one for each state and territory.) The U.S. has 11 Circuit Courts (Appeals) plus the DC Circuit and the Federal Circuit. These are the 13 Federal Appeals Courts. There is only one Supreme Court.... the highest court where appeals from the appeals courts are heard.
Introduction To The Federal Court System The federal court system has three main levels: district courts (the trial court), circuit courts which are the first level of appeal, and the Supreme Court of the United States, the final level of appeal in the federal system. There are 94 district courts, 13 circuit courts, and one Supreme Court throughout the country. Courts in the federal system work differently in many ways than state courts. The primary difference for civil cases (as opposed to criminal cases) is the types of cases that can be heard in the federal system.
