United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit 18 Judges; Appointed for Life Composed of: Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and the Virgin Islands The Circuit Courts have their name because early in the nation’s history, the judges of the first courts of appeals visited each of the courts in one region in a particular sequence, traveling by horseback and riding “circuit.” These courts of appeals review matters from the district courts of their geographical regions in the U.S. and from certain federal administrative agencies. A disappointed party in a district court usually has the right to have the case reviewed in the court of appeals for the circuit. The judges who sit on the courts of appeals are appointed for life by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate. The judge who has served on the court the longest and who is under 65 years of age is designated as the chief judge, and performs administrative duties in addition to hearing cases. The chief judge serves for a maximum term of seven years.
