District Courts.--The territory of the United States has been
divided into judicial districts, none of them crossing State lines
and each having a district court. New York and Texas have each four
districts; Alabama, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee three each;
Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio,
Oklahoma, Virginia, Washington, Wisconsin, and West Virginia two
each; and the remaining States have each a single district. Alaska
and Hawaii constitute a district. Generally there is a judge for
each district, but a single judge is at times assigned to two
districts.
United States District Attorneys and Marshals.--A district attorney
and marshal are appointed by the President for each district court. The
United States district attorney is required to prosecute all persons
accused of the violation of Federal law and to appear as defendant in
cases brought against the government of the United States in his
district.
