Connecting to the US Courts

Intro:

One of the recurrent needs in following updates in news of the courts on Financial Cases is to understand districts. The role that the Courts play in respect to Financial Decision Making requires an understanding of the important relevance and location of districts.

Substance:

From a simple analysis of the significance of  Federal Court Districts  (this is not a Legal definition) the courts are important at the disctrict level for the specific ways that interperet cases. These interpretations of Cases (which Lawyers would likely refer to as "Case Law") communicate the application of various rules per the district and give a sense of the local application of rules.

This interesting feature of Our Legal system (in non legal terms) gives rise to regional perspectives in analysis and application of rules which is important to represent an area but would not fundamentally change the reasoning or intent of a Rule or Law, rather it would influence that Rule or Law's interpretation.

This analysis is not a "Legal" view point as I am not an attorney and would have no claim to a legal view. Rather it is just my current functional understanding.

National vs. State and Local Courts:

The US District Courts in the map provided deal with National (Federal) issues. Each state and local district will have it's own unique courts, cases and rules. None of the State or Local Courts are presented here as this is a map of the National (Federal) Courts.

The Federal Districts for Courts are referred to as Circuits and can be seen in the map below.

Outro:

The next time that you see a financial news  article that states, for example 4th Circ. you'll understand from this map the general jurisdiction which is in turn potentially broken out to underlying North, South, east and West sub divisions.

Judicial Reports for 2011

One of the key points to understanding more about our Economy is the important but frequently overlooked role of the Court - "the Third Branch" where important work with Financial Implications is taking place each day.  The workflows of the court may or may not be measurable in Financial terms. where the Courts work to provide safety and justice, not ALL of the work may be summarized in Financial Terms.

The Attached report on the Courts for 2011 is a starting point to learn more from the Administrative perspective. In the world of cost accounting we call activities drivers and they are connected to expenses for purposes of Management Financials. The Framework of Cost Accounting provides a relevant look at Administrative activities in many areas to better evaluate operations and economic impacts. The court has financial elements of Revenues (Fees and Judgements) and Expenses (operations, personnel, facilities, technology, supplies and more), but also a non-financial element of Societal Benefit through supporting the avenue for covering needs in balance for Liberty, Justice and Individual Rights.

The important role of the courts in balance is best explained by the court itself :

As with any Branch in Government, the Court is an Entity in terms of operations. The additional important function of Justice has very many intangible, non-quantifiable societal benefits. The Framework of Accounting just better explains the operations for understanding. The Courts as the "Third Branch" represent an important and sometimes overlooked element of the Economy.
