Which court hears cases involving federal law and constitutional issues and typically has a jury?

US District Courts

In the federal system, cases arising under federal law or involving constitutional questions start in the United States District Courts, which serve as the trial courts. They hear both civil and criminal cases and typically have juries to decide factual issues presented at trial. Higher courts like the Supreme Court and the Courts of Appeals handle appeals rather than conducting original trials, and they do not use juries. A state court like Maryland District Court handles state-law matters, not federal questions. Therefore, the correct choice is the US District Courts.

Supreme Court

Maryland District Court

Court of Appeals
