For one thing, some legal issues are federal and not state
jurisdiction.
For another thing, the federal circuits are supposed to
protect the laws by making sure that the lower courts do
_not_ abuse their discretion by overstepping their bounds.

As I understand it (IANAL), the Federal Circuit Court of Appeal was created by
Congress because patent appeals because the Circuit Appeal Courts were producing
inconsistent rulings which were confusing for District courts and required
intervention of the Supreme Court to resolve.
Unintended negative side effects appear to have been that (a) by staffing the
Federal Circuit with those experienced in patent litigation, that court was
biased in favor of patents and (b) there is only one source of president for the
Supreme Court to work from so they don't get to weigh conflicting rulings from
different Appeal Courts.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
