Answer: U.S. District Court

Step-by-step explanation:

U.S. District Courts are federal courts below the Court of Appeals that are able to hear both criminal and civil cases. They are not established by the Constitution but rather by an Act of Congress.

There are 94 U.S. District Courts in the United States including the territories. These courts make use of the Jury system which means that a jury is able to determine whether or not a person is guilty or liable for a crime.

Sometimes however, Judges do not use juries in a process known as a Bench trial.
