The United States Court of Appeals is a federal court that was established by the Judiciary Act

of 1891, also known as the Evarts Act. The court was created to relieve the workload of the
Supreme Court and to provide a more efficient system for reviewing appeals. The court is
organized into 13 regional circuits, each of which covers several states. The court of appeals is
the intermediate appellate court in the federal court system, and its decisions are binding on the
lower courts within its circuit. The court hears cases that have been appealed from the district
courts, as well as cases that are appealed directly from certain federal agencies. The judges of
the court of appeals are appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. They serve for
life, subject to removal only through impeachment. The number of judges on each circuit varies,
with some circuits having more judges than others. The court of appeals has the power to
affirm, reverse, or modify the decisions of the district courts. Its decisions can also be appealed
to the Supreme Court. The court has jurisdiction over a wide range of legal matters, including
civil and criminal cases, bankruptcy, patents, trademarks, and immigration. Over the years, the
court of appeals has played a significant role in shaping American law, particularly in the areas
of civil rights, labor law, and environmental law. The court has also been involved in many
high-profile cases, such as the Microsoft antitrust case and the Guantanamo Bay detainee cases.
The court of appeals has undergone several changes over the years, including the creation of
new circuits and the addition of judges. In recent years, the court has faced criticism for its
handling of cases and for its backlog of appeals. Despite these challenges, the court of appeals
remains an important part of the federal court system and a key player in the American legal
system.
