∙ 13y agoCongress passed the Judiciary Act of 1891, restructuring the federal courts system and adding nine intermediate appellate courts, originally called the Circuit Courts of Appeal, to divert part of the US Supreme Court's caseload. In their first year of operation, the Circuit Courts reduced the Supreme Court's docket more than 27%, from 379 cases to 275.
The new Circuit Courts (renamed Courts of Appeals Circuit Courts in 1948) each had a panel of three judges who had appellate jurisdiction over cases heard in the District Courts. This finally relieved the justices of all circuit riding responsibility.
