Which of the following is not TRUE of district courts?

Question

A.
Most federal cases are adjudicated, or handled, in district courts.
B.
Trials and lawsuits begin in district courts.
C.
If cases are appealed in state supreme courts, they may be addressed in district courts.
D.
The US has 94 district courts.

Answer 1

C. If cases are appealed in state supreme courts, they may be addressed in district courts.

This statement is not true because district courts are primarily federal trial courts, and appeals from state supreme courts do not go to district courts. Instead, they go to the appropriate federal appellate court (U.S. Court of Appeals) or may be taken directly to the U.S. Supreme Court under certain circumstances.
