In 1891, Congress created a separate tier of appellate circuit courts which eliminated the necessity of Supreme Court justices traveling to hear cases in different circuits, which was called circuit riding. Since 1891, the structure of the federal courts has remained relatively unchanged.rticle III did not cover how the court system would be developed, so the First Congress created the Judiciary Act of 1789 to establish the federal judiciary. 1  The Judiciary Act 1789 established the federal court system separate from individual state courts.
The concept of a judicial circuit still lives on today. Each of the twelve Courts of Appeal covers its own individual circuit. For example, the United States Court of Appeal for the Eleventh Circuit handles cases from the states of Alabama, Florida, and Georgia.The judges of the Eleventh Circuit hear most cases in the court's principal office in Atlanta, Georgia.n order to decide the merits of an appeal, circuit court judges rely on documents called briefs. Each party to an appeal submits a brief to the court which outlines the legal arguments at issue. The circuit court judges review the briefs.
