Talk:United States circuit court

Eastern, Middle, and Southern Circuit
Shouldn't these official [historical?] terms at least be applied in this article? I couldn't find any use of them in any other article either! Please ping me if you want to answer – which I would highly appreciate! Thanks in advance--Hubon (talk) 00:35, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

Removed section
I have removed this sentence: The net result of riding circuit was that, in many cases which ended up before the Supreme Court, a member of the Supreme Court had already heard the case and issued a ruling. In a real sense, the Supreme Court was, in such cases, acting as an en banc panel; i.e. hearing a case upon which one of their members had already passed judgment. This appears in the lede but doesn't seem to be sourced and rather seems like synthesis or original research (at the very least, the comment about similarities to sitting en banc). I'll probably be expanding the article as a whole over the next few weeks. Thanks, Kevin ( aka L235 ·&#32; t ·&#32; c) 06:36, 11 March 2018 (UTC)
