United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
The
United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit
(in
case citations
,
D.C. Cir.
) known informally as the
D.C. Circuit
, is the
federal
appellate court
for the
U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia
.
Appeals
from the D.C. Circuit, as with all the
U.S. Courts of Appeals
, are heard on a discretionary basis by the
Supreme Court
. It should not be confused with the
United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
, which is limited in jurisdiction by
subject matter
rather than geography, or with the
District of Columbia Court of Appeals
, which is roughly equivalent to a
state supreme court
in the
District of Columbia
, established in 1970 to relieve the D.C. Circuit from having to take appeals from the
local D.C. trial court
.
