Federal courts have jurisdiction over cases involving US laws, foreign treaties and the interpretation of the Constitution D. In some cases, federal and state courts have concurrent jurisdiction E.

In criminal cases, there are two types of juries: a grand jury, which hears charges against a person accused of a crime, and a petit jury, or trial jury, which weighs the evidence presented at trial C. District courts carry the main burden in federal courts D. In the vast majority of cases, district courts render the final decision E.
