The main purpose of the federal district courts is to hear federal trials. The purpose of the federal courts of appeal is to hear appeals from those trials. The United State â¦ s district courts are the federal trial courts. Their 654 judges handle more than 300,000 cases a year, about 80 percent of the federal caseload.
