What is the list of federal courts from lowest to highest?

Answer 1

Courts from lowest to highest

1. District Courts (among/in the states)

2. Courts or Appeal (In the middle)

3. Supreme Court (Highest - These cases take place in Washington DC)

Answer 2

Basically, three levels to the federal court system: the district level, the circuit level and the supreme court. The country is split up into thirteen different circuits, two of which are located in Washington D.C. New York City, for example, sits in the Second Circuit. Chicago, the Seventh Circuit. Los Angeles, the Ninth Circuit, and so forth. Within each circuit there are district courts. States vary in how they split up their districts. Illinois, for example, has three districts, the Northern, Central, and Southern Districts. Some states may have more, others may have only one. Within each district there may be divisions where different courts are located in different cities. In some districts there is only one division. All district level courts are trial level courts, which appeal to the circuit level courts. Then, only with permission, can you appeal from the circuit level courts to the Supreme Court.

It gets more complicated when you get into the jurisdiction of administrative courts and the Federal Circuit, but, that's the basic jist of how the federal court system is set up.
