Federal Appeals Court

A Federal Appeals Court, also known as a Circuit Court, is a part of the judicial system that has the authority to review decisions made by lower courts. These courts handle appeals on a variety of cases, including those involving federal laws, constitutional issues, and disputes between states. Federal Appeals Courts are crucial in ensuring that the law is applied consistently across different jurisdictions and that individual rights are protected. Each Federal Appeals Court covers a specific geographic region in the United States, and their decisions can have broad implications. A significant function of these courts is to interpret and clarify federal laws, often setting important legal precedents that influence future cases and legislation.
