The U.S. Constitution, Article III, establishes the federal court system with the U.S. Supreme Court and permits Congress to create lower federal courts, namely circuit and district courts.
Within 14 days after a new case is docketed, counsel must file an Entry of Appearance. For counsel retained after the case is docketed, counsel must file an Entry of Appearance within 14 days after being retained or admitted to the Federal Circuit's bar.

Original jurisdiction means that the Supreme Court is the first, and only, Court to hear a case. The Constitution limits original jurisdiction cases to those involving disputes between the states or disputes arising among ambassadors and other high-ranking ministers.
The Constitution also grants Congress the power to establish courts inferior to the Supreme Court, and to that end Congress has established the United States district courts, which try most federal cases, and 13 United States courts of appeals, which review appealed district court cases.
These lower courts are called federal district courts. There are federal district courts in every state and in the District of Columbia. If someone loses a case in the federal district court, he can try to have the decision changed by taking his case to a higher court called the Circuit Court of Appeals.
