Our courts are among the busiest in the nation, resolving thousands of legal matters each year. Justice is achieved through the hard work of our dedicated judges and court staff, who provide the highest level of service to litigants and the public.

I hope you find it useful and Chief Judge Alex Kozinski encourage you to provide feedback.
