District courts are federal trial courts (may include juries, etc.)  Federal appeals courts are the Circuit courts (there are 13).  They review decisions made by District courts, but they cannot re-try facts (only review the application of the law).  The number of judges varies depending on Circuit, but normally only 3 will decide a case (for very important cases, there may be more, or all of them).  The U.S. Supreme Court (9 justices) reviews decisions of the Circuit courts.  Normally they will review rulings that are inconsistent among circuit courts of appeals.

The Federal Judiciary is broken dowm into 13 Circuits of Appeal. Within each Circuit, there are District Courts. See the map at http://www.uscourts.gov/courtlinks/ to get an idea of the breakdown. District Courts are the trial level courts in the federal system. District Court Judges oversee matters in District Courts.\n\nMany states also have District Courts. For example, there are nine Judicial DISTRICT COURTS in the State of Nevada. These are also trial level courts.\n\nSome states call their trial level courts by different names, like Superior Court. It just depends on the state.

(taken directly from Wikipedia; words within < > are linked under sources):\n\nThe Constitution does not specify the size of the Supreme Court; instead, Congress has the power to fix the number of Justices. Originally, the total number of Justices was set at six by the <Judiciary Act of 1789>. As the country grew geographically, the number of Justices steadily increased. The court was expanded to seven members in 1807, nine in 1837 and ten in 1863. \n\nIn 1866, however, Congress wished to deny President Andrew Johnson any Supreme Court appointments, and therefore passed the <Judicial Circuits Act>, which provided that the next three Justices to retire would not be replaced; thus, the size of the Court would eventually reach seven by attrition. Consequently, one seat was removed in 1866 and a second in 1867. By the <Circuit Judges Act of 1869>, the number of Justices was again set at nine (the Chief Justice and eight Associate Justices), where it has remained ever since. \n\nINTERESTING NOTE: President Franklin D. Roosevelt attempted to expand the Court (see Judiciary Reorganization Bill of 1937); his plan would have allowed the President to appoint one new, additional justice for every justice who reached the age of seventy but did not retire from the bench, until the Court reached a maximum size of fifteen justices. Ostensibly, this was to ease the burdens of the docket on the elderly judges, but it was widely believed that the President's actual purpose was to add Justices who would favor his New Deal policies, which had been regularly ruled unconstitutional by the Court. The plan failed in Congress and the court changed course (see the switch in time that saved nine). In any case, Roosevelt's long tenure in the White House allowed him to appoint a large number of Justices.
