In the United States trial courts in the
federal justice system are called district courts. The district courts have
jurisdiction to hear any type of federal cases including criminal and also
civil federal 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.(uscourts.gov.nd.par.2). Each federal district has at least one courthouse,
and there are many districts that have more than one.
