How many regional circuits are the 94 Federal District Courts organized into?

The correct answer is: 12

The organization of the 94 Federal District Courts is into 12 regional circuits, which is the correct answer. Each of these circuits encompasses multiple district courts, which handle federal cases within their geographic boundaries. The 12 regional circuits provide a structured means for organizing the federal judicial system, allowing for appeals to be managed more effectively and ensuring that cases are heard within a specific judicial context. These circuits include the 1st through the 11th Circuits, as well as the D.C. Circuit, which deals specifically with cases from the nation's capital. Each circuit has a Court of Appeals that reviews decisions made by the district courts within its jurisdiction. This organization enables uniformity in federal law application across regions while still accounting for regional legal interpretations and practices.
