There are 94 ________ in the federal judiciary.

There are 94 ________ in the federal judiciary.

• A. Constitutional Courts
• B. District Courts
• C. Courts of Appeal
• D. Legislative Courts

Answer: (B)

The basic idea is how the federal judiciary is organized into trial-level units and appellate levels. The 94 refers to the number of federal judicial districts, each with a district court where federal cases begin. States with large populations have multiple districts (for example, California has four districts), and there are district courts for U.S. territories as well, totaling 94. Courts of Appeal are the appellate level (the circuits), and there are 13 of those, not 94. Legislative Courts and Constitutional Courts describe broader categories of federal courts rather than the count of districts, so they don’t fit the number 94.
