Court of appeals
The thirteen courts of appeals are federal courts that hear appeals – mostly from federal district (i.e., trial) courts, but also from federal administrative agencies. Of all the cases the Supreme Court hears, the vast majority come from federal courts of appeals. A court of appeals is often referred to by the name or number of its circuit (i.e., "Ninth Circuit").
