U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit is a federal court that reviews cases appealed from district courts within its jurisdiction, which includes six states: Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah, and Wyoming. It ensures that laws are correctly applied and interpreted. The court does not hold trials or hear new evidence but reviews whether legal errors affected the case's outcome. Its decisions can be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Tenth Circuit helps maintain consistent and fair application of federal laws across its region.
