circuit courts n. a moveable 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/her. Formerly, the Federal District Courts of Appeal were called the Circuit Courts of Appeal.

Federal circuit courts upheld both of the challenged plans. The ruling eliminated an existing division in the circuit courts and required taxpayers to include in gross income all litigation proceeds, including any amount that went to the lawyers under a contingent fee arrangement. However, such claims--including claims for which the appellate venue would he in the Sixth or Eleventh Circuit--will not be processed while there are pending cases in other circuit courts. |
