Eleven of the Circuits are regions of the US consisting of several States, and each State has at least one District Court. Appeals from District Courts within the Circuit go to the Court of Appeals of the Circuit it is located in. There are two more Circuits. The Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit hears appeals from the Washington D.C. District Court. This court is quite busy as it hears cases involving government issues. Finally, there is a Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit which is also located in Washington D.C. This Court hears appeals from "special" Federal Courts, such as cases within the Armed Forces, Veteran Affairs, International Trade and Patents. Finally, there's the United States Supreme Court in Washington D.C.

Out of 10,000 cases which get to the Courts of Appeals, 100 are heard by the Supreme Court.
