How would these convert into presets? Is there just was one amenity=courthouse for each court?

Are District Courts run nationally by a single US Government Department?

If there is only one district court per area, and those courts are each run by the local authority, then adding them to the NSI wouldn't be feasible, as the NSI targets multiple POI's of the same brand / operator.

It looks like some districts do operate multiple courthouses: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_district_and_territorial_courts#Active_courts

They’re part of the federal judiciary, but in every case it would be more correct to state that a given district courthouse has the corresponding district court as its operator. None of the districts has more than a handful of meeting places.
