(Redirected from U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit)
The 'United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit' is a federal court with appellate jurisdiction over the district courts in the following districts:
★ District of Maine
★ District of Massachusetts
★ District of New Hampshire
★ District of Puerto Rico
★ District of Rhode Island
The court is based at the John Joseph Moakley Federal Courthouse in Boston, Massachusetts. Most sittings are held in Boston, but the court sits for two weeks each year in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico and occasionally at other locations within the circuit.
With five active (six authorized) and four senior judges, the First Circuit is the smallest of the thirteen United States courts of appeals.
Despite its small size, the First Circuit has two alumni—David Souter and Stephen Breyer—who currently sit on the United States Supreme Court.
As of 2006, the judges on the court are:
★ There is a vacancy pending: Judge Bruce M. Selya assumed senior status at the end of 2006.[1]
President George W. Bush has not put forward a nomination to for the position. Senator Lincoln Chafee has recommended former Rhode Island Supreme Court Judge Robert G. Flanders Jr. to succeed Judge Selya.[2]
