In the United States judicial system, the federal government and the states can prosecute criminal offenses. At the first level of the federal judiciary, there are 94 United States District Courts. In these courts all criminal cases take place. At trial, the judge checks all evidence to determine if it is sufficient to convict. The judges of District Court have the authority to issue warrants of arrest. Next, we can find the US Court of Appeals. There are 13 circuit courts. Then, the maximum court of all, the US Supreme Court.
