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.
There are 94 federal judicial districts, including at least one district in each state, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Three territories of the United States--the Virgin Islands, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands--have district courts that hear federal cases, including bankruptcy cases.
