Introduction

The United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit is the federal appellate court with jurisdiction over six western states: Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah, and Wyoming. Headquartered in Denver, the Tenth Circuit reviews decisions from the district courts within its territory and handles a wide range of civil and criminal appeals, including significant cases involving public lands, natural resources, tribal law, and federal regulatory issues. Known for its thoughtful jurisprudence and geographically diverse docket, the Tenth Circuit plays a key role in shaping federal law across much of the Mountain West.
