The U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeals are organized into 13 circuits, each covering a specific geographic area. The First through Eleventh Circuits encompass various states, while the D.C. Circuit handles appeals from the federal district court in Washington, D.C. The Federal Circuit is unique as it has nationwide jurisdiction over specific types of cases, such as those involving patent law. Each circuit has appellate jurisdiction over the district courts within its boundaries, reviewing decisions made by those courts.
