The courts of appeals are divided into 11 numbered circuits that cover geographic areas of the United States and hear appeals from the U.S. district courts within their borders,the District of Columbia Circuit,which covers only Washington,D.C.,and the Federal Circuit,which hears appeals from federal courts across the United States in cases involving certain specialized areas of law. The courts of appeals also hear appeals from some administrative agency decisions and rulemaking,with by far the largest share of these cases heard by the D.C. Circuit.
