Federal court jurisdiction is more limited than state court in regards to the types of cases it can hear. State courts typically try a significantly greater amount of cases, and most crimes are generally tried in state court over federal court. There are very specific guidelines for when a federal court can hear a case, which means that if your crime is considered federal, it should not be taken lightly.
