What was created to relieve the US Supreme Court's burden of hearing appeals?
On March 3, 1891, Congress passed the Evarts Act(Judiciary Act of 1891) that created nine US Circuit Court of Appeals for each of the established circuits. These intermediate appellate courts were designed to reduce the Supreme Court's burgeoning caseload.The Circuit Court of Appeals had appellate jurisdiction over cases from US District Court as well as from the original Circuit Courts (which had both original and appellate jurisdiction). The old Circuit Courts were gradually phased out, with most cases of original jurisdiction being assigned to US District Court and appellate jurisdiction being assigned to the Circuit Court of Appeals.Congress added the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in 1893.While the Evarts Act also limited the categories of cases that could be appealed the Supreme Court, the justices did not gain discretion over the cases it heard until 1925.In the Judicial Code of 1948, the name of the appellate courts was officially changed from US Circuit Court of Appeals to the US Courts of Appeals for the [designated] Circuit(e.g., US Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, or US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit).

Congress established the US Courts of Appeals under the Evarts Act (Judiciary Act) of 1801, assigning one court for each of the nine judicial circuits. The Evarts Act reduced the Supreme Court's caseload at a time when the justices lacked judicial discretion (the ability to choose which cases they hear), an important development in the history of the federal judiciary.The Courts of Appeals officially adopted the name US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts in the judicial code of 1948.There are currently thirteen US Courts of Appeals Circuits, numbered First through Eleventh (e.g., US Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit), plus the District of Columbia Circuit and the Federal Circuit.
