Eleven of the circuits are numbered "First" through "Eleventh" and cover geographic areas of the United States and hear appeals from the U.S. district courts within their borders. The District of Columbia Circuit covers only Washington,DC. The Federal Circuit hears appeals from federal courts across the United States in cases involving certain specialized areas of law.
