Civil Cases. A federal civil case involves a legal dispute between two or more parties. ...

Criminal Cases. Only the government initiates a criminal case, usually through the U.S. Attorney’s Office, in coordination with a law enforcement agency.

Bankruptcy Cases. Federal courts, in their exclusive jurisdiction over bankruptcy cases, give people and businesses a fresh start when they can no longer pay their debts.

Appeals. The losing party in a decision by a trial court in the federal courts normally is entitled to appeal the decision to a federal court of appeals.
