Notes

The Inferior Court

They were created to function.

U.S. district court are the federal trial courts- 677 judges handle more than 35000 cases per year- 80% of the federal caseload.

There are two little-known about multi-judge panels that play a key role in ongoing effects to combat terrorism in the U.S. & abroad.

The district courts do not hear cases within original jurisdiction of the Supreme Court.

Most decisions in the federal district courts are final- meaning the cases start and end there.

These courts were created by congress to relieve the Supreme Court of hearing ALL appealed cases.

Each court has 6-28 judges and 1 supreme court justice as assigned to each district.

a federal trial court- only tries civil cases that arise out of the nations customs and other trade related laws
