Answer to Question 1

The federal court structure, for the purposes of criminal procedure, consists of three specific types of courts. Federal courts try cases involving federal law. The lowest courts at the federal level are the district courts. There are 94 federal district courts in the United States (as of this writing), including 89 district courts in the 50 states and 1 each in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the District of Columbia, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands.

At the next level are the U.S. courts of appeals. There are 13 circuit courts of appeals: 12 regional courts and 1 for the federal circuit. Each is charged with hearing appeals from several of the district courts that fall within its circuit. Finally, the U.S. Supreme Court is the highest court in the federal system. As will be discussed, however, the Supreme Court does not only hear federal appeals.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: First, there must be an outstanding warrant in the district in which the crime occurred. Second, the
prosecutor will make application to the governor of the asylum state. Third, the application must allege
that the defendant was in the demanding state at the time of the occurrence of the crime.
