Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The majority of cases, including criminal and civil cases, are tried in state courts. While federal courts handle important cases, such as those involving constitutional issues or disputes between states, they only hear about 1% of all cases. The U.S. district courts are a type of federal court and do not handle the majority of cases either. Appellate courts handle appeals from lower courts, rather than trials, so they are not the correct answer.
