The nation's 94 district or trial courts are called U.S. district courts. District courts resolve disputes by determining the facts and applying the law to those facts.
The geographical area served by each court is established by the Legislature, but each county must be served by at least one district court. In sparsely populated areas of the State, several counties may be served by a single district court, while an urban county may be served by many district courts.
The Due Order of Pleading rule provides that certain defenses are waived if not presented in "due order." As a general rule, the defendant's answer may include any defenses he has, whether of law or fact, dilatory or merits-based, 2 and the trial court may take up these issues in any order it directs.
