The federal courts of appeal are formally called the US Court of Appeals Circuit Courts.
Most cases are reviewed by a panel of three judges, although important cases may occasionally be heard "en banc," meaning by all judges of that particular Circuit, as a group. The number of judges in a Circuit varies according to caseload and the size of the region the Circuit covers.
