How Federal Courts Are Organized! By- Lesly Martinez, Emileigh Berger, and Elise Faverio

Original jurisdiction U.S District Courts! District Courts are the federal courts where trials are held and lawsuits are begun. District Courts have which means that they have authority to hear cases for the first time. Original jurisdiction Every state has at least one district court, and some have two, three, or four.

U.S Courts of Appeals! Their job is to review decisions made in lower district courts. ^^This is referred to as appellate jurisdiction. ^^ There are 12 United States courts of appeals. Each one covers a particular geographic area called a circuit.

Making a Decision! Appeal courts do not hold trials. They may decide an appeal in one of three ways: uphold the original decision, or remand the case. Remand means to send the case back to the lower court to be tried again.
