All article III federal (constitutional) courts, except lower courts of limited jurisdiction (for example, the Court of International Trade), have appellate jurisdiction. Although US District Courts are primarily courts of original jurisdiction (trial courts), they are also used sometimes used as appellate courts for Article I tribunals, such as Social Security Disability appeals.
Most federal appellate cases are heard by the US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts; a few are heard by the Supreme Court of the United States.
