                                                About U.S. Federal Appeals Courts

                                                A U.S. Court of Appeals is located in each of the nation’s 12 regional circuits. Each of those courts hears appeals from the district courts within its jurisdiction, along with appeals of decisions made by federal administrative agencies.

                                                In 2010, U.S. Courts of Appeals received filings of 56,790 appeals.

                                                Of the appeals filed in 2010 in federal courts, more than 13,000 were criminal appeals.

                                                In the Second Circuit, which includes New York, some 885 criminal appeals were filed.
