Which term is described as handling appeals after district court decisions?

• A. US Magistrate
• B. US District Court Judges
• C. US Circuit Court of Appeals Judges
• D. US Supreme Court Justices

Answer: (C)

The U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeals handle appeals after district court decisions. These judges serve as intermediate appellate review for cases coming from federal district courts within their geographic circuits. They examine whether legal errors or procedural issues affected the outcome and decide to affirm, reverse, or remand. While the Supreme Court is the highest court and can review circuit decisions, the routine path for most appeals starts at the circuit court level, not the Supreme Court. The other roles include district court judges who preside over trials, and magistrate judges who assist with pretrial matters, while Supreme Court justices choose to hear a limited number of cases on appeal from the circuit level.
