Summary
"This article discusses the way in which federal Article III appellate courts have evolved from the old circuit courts created by the Judiciary Act of 1789, to the circuit courts of appeals created by the Evarts Act of 1891, and ultimately to the modern courts of appeals, as they were renamed in 1948." -- FJC.
