Best Answer: The United States has 94 Federal District Courts (Trial Courts... at least one for each state and territory.) The U.S. has 11 Circuit Courts (Appeals) plus the DC Circuit and the Federal Circuit. These are the 13 Federal Appeals Courts. There is only one Supreme Court.... the highest court where appeals from the appeals courts are heard.
The Wisconsin circuit courts are the state's trial courts. Currently, there are 249 circuit court judges in Wisconsin. The circuit courts are divided into branches with at least one branch in every county, with the exception of six counties that are paired off and share judges. The paired counties are: Buffalo/Pepin, Florence/Forest, and Shawano/Menominee. The first two pairs are each staffed by a single judge who travels between the courthouses; Menominee County is a federal reservation and both judges for this circuit are located in Shawano. Of the remaining circuits, 26 have a single judge and the largest circuit is Milwaukee County with 47 judges.
