The Illinois District Court is divided into three district courts: the Northern District (Chicago), the Middle District (Springfield), and the Southern District ( East St. Louis). If a party loses a case, they can appeal to the Illinois Court of Appeal, 7th District, located in Chicago. The 7th District also has jurisdiction over Wisconsin and Indiana. If a party loses their case in the Court of Appeals, they can appeal to the third and final level, which is the United States Supreme Court. (“State and Federal Courts",
