Distinction - United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York
This court, being one of the most commonly referenced, mentioned, attributed, and sited, as The the United State's primary appellate courts (by news outlets, journalists, court precedents, etc.) deserves additional clarification and explanation.

Considerations Include: Is it the sheer population it oversees that makes it newsworthy? (If so, why aren't other major-metropolitan areas given the same regard - and don't say "history") Why does this court matter to me? (which isn't your thing, but maybe could be) Historical cases brought to court / the decisions? Nothing? (Eeesh, right now.)

Thoughts: Why no section of its accomplishments? Why no section on its failures? (There have been a lot of both - the success and failures each deserve their shot at posterity. For better or worse.)

I'm sure smarter people than me can point out the other severe lacking of details, better than I have above.

All in all, a description/definition and a list of (some) headshots feels underwhelming here.
