FEDERAL JUDGES IN MARYLAND
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
The United States Courts of Appeals are intermediate appellate courts created in 1891 to relieve over-
crowding of the U.S. Supreme Court docket. The appeals courts are empowered to review all decisions
of federal district courts, certain special courts, and administrative bodies, except in those few instances
where direct review by the Supreme Court is mandated. Appeals Court judges are appointed by the
President of the United States with the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate.
The United States is divided into twelve judicial circuits. Maryland is in the fourth judicial circuit,
which also includes Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Maryland's two
members of the U.S. Court of Appeals maintain chambers in the U.S. Courthouse in Baltimore.
