District courts are a category of courts which exists in several nations. These include:

Australia[link]

District Court is the name given to the intermediate court in most Australian States. They hear indictable (serious) criminal offences excluding treason, murder and, in some States, manslaughter. Their civil jurisdiction is also intermediate, typically being for civil disputes where the amount claimed is greater than a $75 000 but less than $750 000.^[1] The limits vary between Australian States. In Victoria, the equivalent Court is called the County Court.^[2] Below them is the Magistrates' Courts, known as the Local Court in New South Wales. Above them are the State Supreme Courts.

Austria[link]

Austria has some 200 district, or local, courts, which decide minor civil and criminal cases.

Finland[link]

See also Judicial system of Finland

Finland has 61 district courts (käräjäoikeus/tingsrätt), which deal with criminal cases, civil cases and petitionary matters. Each court is headed by the Chief Judge and other District Judges. In certain cases, the district court may also have Lay Judges. The cases are handled and resolved either in a session or in chambers. In simple cases decisions can be made by notaries.

Hong Kong[link]

The District Courts in Hong Kong, established in 1953, has limited jurisdiction in both civil and criminal matters. With effect from 1 December 2003, it has civil jurisdiction to hear monetary claims up to HK$1 million or, where the claims are for recovery of land, the annual rent or rateable value does not exceed HK$240,000. In its criminal jurisdiction, the court may try the more serious cases, with the main exceptions of murder, manslaughter and rape. The maximum term of imprisonment it may impose is seven years. There are one Chief District Judge and 30 District Judges, among which three District Judges sit in the Family Court and two District Judges sit in the Lands Tribunal as Presiding Officers.

India[link]

The District Courts of India are presided over by a judge.^[3] They administer justice in India at a district level. These courts are under administrative and judicial control of the High Court of the State to which the district concerned belongs.

Ireland[link]

The District Court in Ireland was established in 1924. The Court handles civil claims of up to €6,350 and summary criminal trials (minor offences tried by a judge alone where the maximum penalty is 12 months on indictment in the Circuit Court and the granting of licences for the sale of alcohol.

Israel[link]

The District Courts in Israel serve both as the appellate courts and also as the court of first instance for some cases (e.g. real estate or IP). As of 2007, there are six district courts^[4]:

• Jerusalem
• Tel Aviv
• Haifa
• Nazareth
• Central Region (Petah Tikva)
• Beersheba

New Zealand[link]

The District Courts of New Zealand are a low-level trial court. The Courts can hear civil claims up to $200,000 and deal with relatively minor criminal charges. The District Courts were called the Magistrates' Courts until 1980.

Norway[link]

The Norwegian tingrett deals with criminal and civil cases.

Pakistan[link]

The District Courts of Pakistan are presided over by a Senior judge. They administer justice in Pakistan at a district level. These courts are under administrative and judicial control of the High Court of the province to which the district concerned belongs.

Poland[link]

District courts exist in Poland. See judiciary of Poland.

Scotland[link]

District Courts were introduced in 1975 as replacement for Burgh Police Courts; they dealt with the most minor crimes. They were run by the local authorities. Each court comprised one or more Justices of the Peace (lay magistrates) who sat alone or in threes with a qualified legal assessor as convener or clerk of court.

They handled many cases of breach of the peace, drunkenness, minor assaults, petty theft, and offences under the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982.

District Court operated under summary procedure and could not impose a fine in excess of £2,500 or sentence an offender to more than 60 days in prison. In practice, most offences were dealt with by a fine.

In Glasgow where the volume of business requires the employment of three solicitors as "stipendiary magistrates" who sit in place of the lay Justices. The Stipendiary Magistrates' court has the same sentencing power as the summary Sheriff Court.

District Courts in Scotland were abolished and replaced with Justice of the Peace Courts under the provisions of the Criminal Proceedings etc. (Reform) (Scotland) Act 2007. The Justice of the Peace Courts are managed by the Scottish Court Service. Responsibility for the Courts was transferred from the local authorities in a rolling programme of court unification which concluded in February 2010. District Courts were replaced by JP Courts in sheriffdoms as follows-

• Sheriffdom of Lothian and Borders, 10 March 2008^[5]
• Sheriffdom of Grampian, Highlands and Islands, 2 June 2008^[6]
• Sheriffdom of Glasgow and Strathkelvin, 8 December 2008^[7]
• Sheriffdom of Tayside, Central and Fife, 23 February 2009^[8]
• Sheriffdom of North Strathclyde, 14 December 2009^[9]
• Sheriffdom of South Strathclyde, Dumfries & Galloway, 22 February 2010^[10]

Sweden[link]

See also Judicial system of Sweden

As of 2009^[update], Sweden has 53 district courts under the name tingsrätt, which deal with criminal and civil cases.^[11] The number has decreased since 1999, when there were 96 district courts.^[12]

United States[link]

In the United States federal courts, the United States district courts are the general trial courts. The federal district courts have jurisdiction over federal questions (trials and cases interpreting federal law, or which involve federal statutes or crimes) and diversity (cases otherwise subject to jurisdiction in a state trial court but which are between litigants of different states and/or countries). There are 89 federal districts in the 50 states. United States district courts also exist in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, the District of Columbia, Guam, and the Northern Mariana Islands. So, in total, there are 94 U.S. district courts. Decisions from these courts are subject to review by one of the 13 United States court of appeals, which are, in turn, subject to review by the Supreme Court of the United States.

Some states maintain state courts called "district courts." In Florida, the Florida District Courts of Appeal are intermediate appellate courts. In Texas, the Texas District Courts are trial courts of general jurisdiction, hearing all felony and divorce cases, election controversies, and many civil matters. The Hawaii State District Courts, Alaska District Courts, and Kentucky District Courts, to name a few, are courts of limited jurisdiction.

Martin T. Heinrich (born October 17, 1971) is the U.S. Representative for New Mexico's 1st congressional district, serving since 2009. He is a member of the Democratic Party. The district includes the central area of the state, in and around Albuquerque.

Early life, education, and business career[link]

Heinrich was born in Fallon, Nevada, the son of Shirley A. (née Bybee) and Pete C. Heinrich.^[1] Heinrich graduated from the University of Missouri in 1995 with a Bachelor's degree in Science and Engineering, and later took graduate courses at the University of New Mexico.^[2] He served as Executive Director of the Cottonwood Gulch Foundation, a New Mexico non-profit organization dedicated to educating young people on natural science and the environment, and founded his own public affairs consulting firm.^[2]

Early political career[link]

Heinrich served on the Albuquerque City Council from 2003 to 2007, which included one term as City Council President in 2006.^[3] As a city councilman, he stated that his goals were to reduce crime, raise the minimum wage and create new jobs. He also advocated the use of wind and solar power.^[2] In February 2006, he was appointed by Governor Bill Richardson to be the state's Natural Resources Trustee.^[4]

U.S. House of Representatives[link]

Elections[link]

2008

Heinrich originally planned to oppose five-term Republican incumbent Heather Wilson; however, Wilson decided not to run for re-election to the House, instead announcing her candidacy for the seat in the United States Senate being vacated by the retiring Pete Domenici.^[5]

Heinrich won the Democratic primary on June 3, 2008, receiving 43.5% of the vote.^[6] In the general election, he faced Bernalillo County Sheriff Darren White, whom Heinrich's campaign focused on linking to President George W. Bush.^[7] He also called for energy independence and an end to the war in Iraq.^[7]

Heinrich went on to defeat White by a margin of 55%-44%, largely helped by Barack Obama, who carried the 1st with 60 percent of the vote. Upon being sworn in on January 6, 2009, Heinrich became the first Democrat to ever represent the district. Although the 1st had been trending Democratic for some time (it has supported a Democrat for president in the last five elections), it had been in Republican hands since its creation in 1969.

2010

Heinrich was challenged by the Republican candidate Jon Barela, who told Politico he did not believe Heinrich reflected the district, saying he was too far left on budget and spending issues.^[8]

During the 2010 campaign, Roll Call reported that the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee assigned lobbyist to aid in the reelection campaigns of possibly vulnerable house members. The lobbyist would help in fundraising, messaging and campaign strategy.^[9] On November 2nd, 2010, Heinrich narrowly won re-election.

Tenure[link]

Congressman Martin Heinrich

On January 14, 2009, Heinrich was elected to a six-month term as class president by the House Democratic freshmen.^[10] He co-sponsored the Stop the Congressional Pay Raise Act, which would cancel an automatic $4,700 salary raise for members of Congress.^[7]

Heinrich was voted most attractive person on Capitol Hill by The Hill newspaper in July 2009. ^[11] Heinrich received the endorsement of the National Rifle Association during his 2010 run.^[12]

Abortion

NARAL Pro-Choice America PAC endorsed Heinrich in 2010.^[13] Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL, stated in a press release that "Rep. Heinrich has a solid record of standing up for women's freedom and privacy," and called him "an outstanding advocate for New Mexico's commonsense pro-choice values. Rep. Heinrich's victory in 2008 is one reason the state has an entirely pro-choice congressional delegation – and we want to keep it that way."^[14] The pro-choice PAC announced that it would "mobilize its more than 2,600 member activists in New Mexico's 1st District in support of Rep. Heinrich's reelection."^[14]

Heinrich received a 100% score from NARAL in 2009,^[15] and a 0% score from the National Right to Life Committee.^[16]

Environment

Heinrich has identified himself as an environmentalist throughout his career. He served as Executive Director of the Cottonwood Gulch Foundation, a New Mexico non-profit organization dedicated to educating young people on natural science and the environment, and founded his own public affairs consulting firm.^[2] Later, as a member of the Albuquerque City Council, he advocated for the use of wind and solar power.^[2] In February 2006, he was appointed by Governor Bill Richardson to be the state's Natural Resources Trustee.^[4] He also served on the executive committee of the Sierra Club's Rio Grande Chapter.^[17]

In August 2011, Heinrich received the Sierra Club's first endorsement of the 2012 election cycle.^[18] Sierra Club President Robin Mann stated, "As a member of Congress, Representative Heinrich has been an outstanding environmental champion during a period in which environmental issues faced steep and vicious opposition from well funded corporate opponents. The Sierra Club proudly throws its weight behind Martin Heinrich's candidacy for U.S. Senate."^[17]

Gay marriage

Heinrich's position on gay marriage has changed since he first ran for Congress.

In 2008, Heinrich stated, "I am not supportive of gay marriage, but I do believe that everybody in the United States has the same civil rights in front of the government. So I think it's important that civil rights that are available to heterosexual couples should be available to every single gay couple who also wants to make the same sort of commitments."^[19]

Heinrich was an original cosponsor of Congressman Jerry Nadler's 2009 legislation to repeal the Defense of Marriage Act.^[20]

After his 2012 Senate primary opponent, Hector Balderas, announced his support for gay marriage^[19], Heinrich's staff released a statement to the New Mexico Independent newspaper stating, "Martin has supported gay marriage for some time. I just don't think he was asked about it. Thanks for asking!"^[21]

Ojito Wilderness

In 2008, it was reported that Heinrich had lobbied both state and federal government officials without registering as a lobbyist, as required by both state and federal law. The Republican Party of New Mexico called on Heinrich to release his business records relating to his career as a lobbyist, including the names of clients and payment receipts. Heinrich's admission that he had operated as an unlicensed lobbyist came on the heels of his admission that he had operated his business illegally by failing to get a license from the city. He claimed to be unaware that he required a license, even though he passed legislation on the subject as a city councilor.^[22]

Armed Forces

Heinrich is a member of the House Armed Services Committee.^[23]

During his time in Congress, Heinrich has maintained strong opposition to the war in Iraq, and supports a swift end of combat operations in Afghanistan.^[24]

In 2011, Heinrich voted against the National Defense Authorization Act conference report because he objected to language requiring that suspected foreign terrorists be taken into custody by the military instead of civilian law enforcement authorities.^[25]

Politico reported that Al Gore had signed a fundraising letter for Heinrich.^[27]

Thomas Stewart "Tom" Udall (born May 18, 1948) is the junior United States Senator from New Mexico and a member of the Democratic Party. He had represented New Mexico's 3rd congressional district as a member of the United States House of Representatives since 1999. Udall was elected as the junior United States senator from New Mexico on November 4, 2008, defeating Congressman Steve Pearce. He is expected to become the state's senior senator when Jeff Bingaman retires from the Senate in January 2013.

Early life, education, and law career[link]

Udall was born in Tucson, Arizona, the son of Ermalee Lenora (née Webb) and Stewart Udall, who was Secretary of the Interior from 1961 to 1969.^[1] He attended Prescott College, graduating with a pre-law degree in 1970. In 1975, he graduated from Cambridge University in England with a Bachelor of Law degree. That fall, he enrolled in the University of New Mexico School of Law and graduated with a Juris Doctor in 1977.

After graduating, Udall was Law Clerk to Chief Judge Oliver Seth of the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals. His legal career then included appointments as Assistant US Attorney in the criminal division and Chief Counsel to the Department of Health and Environment. A partnership followed in the Miller Law Firm.

Early political career[link]

In 1982, Udall ran for Congress in the newly-created 3rd District, based in the state capital, Santa Fe and including most of the northern third of the state. However, he lost the Democratic primary to Bill Richardson. In 1989, he ran Congress again in a special election for the Albuquerque-based 1st District for the seat left open by retiring 20-year incumbent Manuel Lujan, but narrowly lost to Bernalillo County District Attorney Steven Schiff.

From 1991 to 1999 he served as Attorney General of New Mexico.^[2]

U.S. House of Representatives[link]

Elections[link]

Udall ran for Congress again in 1998 in the 3rd District against Bill Redmond, who had been elected in a 1997 special election to replace Richardson. Redmond was a conservative Republican representing a heavily Democratic district, and the 3rd's partisan tilt was enough for Udall to defeat Redmond with 53 percent of the vote to Redmond's 43 percent.^[3] Udall never faced another contest even that close, and was reelected four times, including a completely unopposed run in 2002. He won a fifth term in the 2006 midterm elections he was reelected with 75 percent of the vote, defeating Republican Ron Dolin.

Tenure[link]

As a U.S. Representative, Tom Udall belonged to the centrist New Democrat Coalition and the more liberal Congressional Progressive Caucus. He was also a member of the United States House Peak Oil Caucus.^[4]

Committee assignments[link]

• United States House of Representatives Committee on Appropriations
  • Subcommittee on Interior, Environment, and Related Agencies
  • Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies
  • Subcommittee on Legislative Branch
• Co-Vice Chair of the House Native American Caucus
• International Conservation Caucus (Co-Chair)

U.S. Senate[link]

2008 election[link]

In November 2007 he announced he would give up his congressional seat to run in the 2008 Senate election in New Mexico to replace Pete Domenici, who was retiring.^[5] The only other Democrat in the race, Albuquerque Mayor Martin Chavez, dropped out in December, essentially handing the nomination to Udall. New Mexico's other two members of the House, 1st District Congresswoman Heather Wilson and 2nd District Congressman Steve Pearce, also gave up their seats to run in the Republican primary. Pearce won the Republican nomination, and lost to Udall with 61 percent of the vote. Democrat Ben R. Luján went on to win Udall's House seat.

While Udall was running for senate in New Mexico, his younger first cousin, congressman Mark Udall, ran for the Colorado Senate seat left open by the retirement of Wayne Allard. Their double second cousin, incumbent Gordon Smith of Oregon, also ran in a Senate election against Jeff Merkley. While Mark and Tom Udall are Democrats, Smith is a Republican.

Tenure[link]

According to the Washington Post, Udall has voted with his party 97% of the time since he was first elected to the U.S. Senate. He voted for most of President Barack Obama's agenda. This includes Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act of 2010, FDA Food Safety Modernization Act, DREAM Act,^[6] American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act, and the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009.^[7] In March 2011, he voted against U.S. Congressman Paul Ryan's Republican budget.^[8]
