Talk:List of United States district and territorial courts

"District of Berlin"
There are a few problems with this entry: 60.225.114.230 (talk) 12:34, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) It was not a US District court, nor was it arguably a Territorial court either - Occupied Berlin was never subject to Article IV of the US Constitution
 * 2) It was not established in 1978, nor was it disestablished in that year either. It was established April 28, 1955 (source). The military occupation of West Berlin was terminated on 3 October 1990, so I assume the Court ceased to exist on that date. Only in 1978 did the Court ever sit, or ever have judges appointed to it, but it is possible for a court to exist without hearing a case, or even without having any judges (if a court is only rarely expected to hear cases, it can make sense to leave the appointment of judges an ad hoc matter)
 * 3) The Court was never called the "District of Berlin". The proper name of the court is "United States Court for Berlin". "Berlin" was not a "District", and the use of for rather than of was significant

Missing definite articles?
Shouldn't the short usage be e.g. "the Southern District of New York", not "Southern District of New York"? See in particular the last paragraph of the article's leading section.—DocWatson42 (talk) 00:50, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * In running text, yes. Done. Cheers! bd2412  T 01:12, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Total number of judgeships
Can we add a line at the bottom of the table that shows the total number of judgeships? Latex-yow (talk) 18:51, 31 August 2017 (UTC)

What is a "meeting place"?
The table of courts lists the number of "meeting places" each one has. I have never heard such a term used with reference to ANY court. I do see a legend that indicates "The number of locations at which the court hears cases.". But even that is hopelessly ambiguous. Is it actual courtrooms? Courthouses, used or not? Venues? Why is this number even relevant? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:6000:1516:4588:28D1:C567:1AE5:39BE (talk) 03:27, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
