Circuit Courts
A movable court in which the judge holds court sessions at several different locations for pre-specified periods of time. In effect, the judge "rides the circuit" from town to town and takes the "court" with him. Formerly, the Federal District Courts of Appeal were called the Circuit Courts of Appeal.
