The federal court system has three main levels: U.S. District Court, U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and the U.S. Supreme Court. Each level of court serves a different legal function for both civil and criminal cases.
Congress determines the number of District Courts. There are 94 US District Courts in the federal judicial system. Although the US Supreme Court is head of the Judicial branch of government, it is not quite accurate to refer to the District Courts as belonging to the Supreme Court.
