Search 15 U.S.C. § 4 : US Code - Section 4: Jurisdiction of courts; duty of United States attorneys; procedure

The several district courts of the United States are invested
with jurisdiction to prevent and restrain violations of sections 1
to 7 of this title; and it shall be the duty of the several United
States attorneys, in their respective districts, under the
direction of the Attorney General, to institute proceedings in
equity to prevent and restrain such violations. Such proceedings
may be by way of petition setting forth the case and praying that
such violation shall be enjoined or otherwise prohibited. When the
parties complained of shall have been duly notified of such
petition the court shall proceed, as soon as may be, to the hearing
and determination of the case; and pending such petition and before
final decree, the court may at any time make such temporary
restraining order or prohibition as shall be deemed just in the
premises.
