FAQ
The district courts are the general trial courts of the federal court system. Each district court has at least one United States District Judge, appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate for a life term. District courts handle trials within the federal court system – both civil and criminal.
The Court of Federal Claims is a trial court that hears cases involving non-tort monetary claims against the federal government. There is no right to a jury trial in the U.Surt of Federal Claims.
Learn about the types of cases heard in federal courts. Petit juries are comprised of 6-12 people. Trials are generally public, but jury deliberations are private. Petit juries render a verdict, of guilty/not guilty in a criminal case, or in favor of a defendant or plaintiff in a civil case.
In state courts, juries are people who live in the county where a trial is to be held. Federal jurors, by contrast, may live anywhere within larger federal districts, meaning federal juries can be more diverse and may include individuals from different urban and rural communities with vastly different social views.
There are two types of juries serving different functions in the federal trial courts: petit juries and grand juries.
