okrug
The United States is divided into thirteen circuits with a different court of appeals (see a map here). Eleven of the circuits are numbered first to eleventh. The District of Columbia has its own that hears many cases involving the federal government. The Federal Circuit’s jurisdiction is not geographic. Instead, it hears cases involving particular subject matters, such as patents and international trade. Courts of appeals are often referred to by the name or number of their circuit; for example, the “Ninth Circuit. ”
