There are 13 federal judicial circuits in the United States. This includes 12 regional circuits, which hear appeals from federal district courts, and the Federal Circuit, which has specialized jurisdiction over certain cases, including patent law. Each circuit has its own Court of Appeals that reviews decisions made by lower courts within its jurisdiction.
