Evidence

Congress has established 94 district courts, serving the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and various U.S. territories, staffed by 677 district judges. As Figure 2.2 indicates, every state has at least one district court, and no district extends beyond the borders of a single state. More populous states are divided into more than one district, with three states— California, New York, and Texas—each having four district courts. — G. Alan Tarr, Judicial Process and Judicial…, 332
