Federal Criminal Appellate Attorney, David J. Joffe, has personally handled over 150 Federal Criminal Appellate cases.

The Federal Appellate Structure

The federal appellate system consists of 13 federal circuits, each of which has one appellate court called a court of appeals, and the United States Supreme Court. Within each of the federal circuits are several federal district courts that serve as trial courts for issues of federal concern. Parties who are dissatisfied with the outcome of a district court case have the right to appeal to the court of appeals encompassing that district. Florida is located in the Eleventh Circuit. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit usually sits in Atlanta, but occasionally hears cases in Jacksonville, Miami, Mobile and Montgomery. Florida has three U.S. district courts, in the northern, middle and southern districts. A case heard in one of these federal district courts (such as the Federal District Court for the Southern District of Florida) would be appealed to the Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit.

The United States Supreme Court hears some cases that are appealed "as of right." Mandatory appeals to the Supreme Court are made only in cases decided by a district court composed of three judges, chiefly in actions to enjoin legislative apportionments on constitutional grounds. Most cases reach the Court by an application process known as petitioning for certiorari. Review by the United States Supreme Court requires more than just the belief by a party that the wrong decision was made in his or her case; the case must be of important enough concern to federal law that its issues should be decided by the Court. The abortion cases heard by the Supreme Court in the last few years have defined the parameters of the states' authority to limit women's right to abortion. Such questions of state authority are important federal questions. Similarly, if two federal courts of appeals have made conflicting decisions on the same question of law, an important federal issue is present.
