The thirteen US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts are the Article III intermediate appellate courts of the federal Judicial Branch. Twelve of the courts have territorial jurisdiction over cases heard in the US District Courts; the thirteenth has nationwide jurisdiction over special subject matter cases, such as patent infringement and appeals from the US Court of Federal Claims. These modern courts should not be confused with the US Circuit Courts of the 19th century, which had original (trial) jurisdiction over major criminal cases, as well as appellate jurisdiction over certain cases heard in the District Courts. Some states may also have Circuit Courts within their judicial system; however, these are not connected to the federal courts.
