United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit

The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit is a federal court that reviews decisions made by district courts in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. Its role is to determine whether legal errors occurred in trials and whether the law was correctly applied. The court does not conduct new trials or hear new evidence; instead, it reviews the record of lower court cases to ensure fairness and proper legal procedures. As one of thirteen federal appellate courts, it handles appeals on civil and criminal cases, setting important legal precedents within its jurisdiction.
