The United States district courts are the trial courts of the U.S. federal judiciary. There is one district court for each federal judicial district,which each cover one U.S. state or,in some cases,a portion of a state.

District courts' decisions are appealed to the U.S. court of appeals for the circuit in which they reside,except for certain specialized cases that are appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit or directly to the U.S. Supreme Court.
