Established by Congress in 1981, the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Judicial Circuit has jurisdiction
over federal cases originating in the states
of Alabama, Florida and Georgia. The
circuit includes nine district courts with each state divided into
Northern, Middle and Southern Districts.
In terms of cases filed and terminated by three-judge
panels, the court is the busiest federal appellate
court in the United States with its twelve authorized judgeships. |
|
Approximately three-fourths of the court's cases are decided on the briefs submitted by the
parties, while the remaining cases include oral argument. Oral arguments are held in the Elbert
P. Tuttle United States Court of Appeals Building in Atlanta, Georgia and are open to the public.
Oral arguments are also held in Florida (Jacksonville and Miami) and Alabama (Montgomery).
Maps and directions to all Eleventh Circuit buildings are available
on this web site.
For additional information, contact the Clerk's
Office. Phone: (404) 335-6100. |
