Courts of Appeals
The 94 federal judicial districts are organized into 12 regional circuits, each of which has a court of appeals. The appellate court's task is to determine whether or not the law was applied correctly in the trial court. Appeals courts consist of three judges and do not use a jury.

the ideas of government. Both traditions subscribed to the rule of law. They
advocated for equality and the rights and liberties of every individual in
addition to holding elections to elect officials.
