Senior judges
Senior status is a classification for federal judges at all levels who are semi-retired. Senior judges are Article III judges who, having met eligibility through age and service requirements, continue to serve on federal courts while typically hearing a reduced number of cases. Some senior judges, however, elect to retain a full caseload after taking senior status. According to the Administrative Office of U.S. Courts, senior judges "typically handle about 15 percent of the federal courts' workload annually."[1] The date listed under assumed office in the table below reflects the date that the judge took senior status.

Former chief judges
In order to qualify for the office of chief judge in an Article III circuit or district court, or on the United States Court of International Trade, a judge must be in active service and hold seniority over the court's commissioned judges who are 64 years of age or under, have served one year or more, and have not previously served as chief judge.[2]
In the event that no judge on the court meets those qualifications, the youngest judge in regular active service aged 65 years or more and who has served as a judge for one year or more shall become chief judge. If no judge meets those qualifications, the judge holding seniority in active service who has not served as chief before shall become the chief judge.[3][4][5]
The chief judge serves for a term of seven years until another judge becomes eligible to serve in the position. No judge is permitted to serve as chief judge after reaching the age of 70 years unless no other judge is qualified to serve.[3][4][5]
Unlike the chief justice of the United States, a chief judge returns to active service after the expiration of their term and does not create a vacancy on the court by the fact of their promotion.[2][3][4][5]
On the United States Court of Federal Claims, the chief judge is selected by the president of the United States. The judge must be less than 70 years of age. A chief may serve until they reach age 70 or until another judge is designated by the president as the new chief judge. If the president selects a new chief judge, the former chief judge may continue active service on the court for the remainder of their appointed term.[6]

History
Court history
The Eleventh Circuit was established on October 14, 1980, under 94 Stat. 1994 which broke the then Fifth Circuit up into the Fifth Circuit and the Eleventh Circuit. All of the judges who resided in the newly created Eleventh Circuit were transferred to the new appellate court. The court has had twelve judicial posts since its creation.[7]
The districts within the Eleventh Circuit were originally part of the United States Court of Appeals for the 5th Circuit. The Eleventh Circuit Act of 1980 was enacted by Congress and effective as of October 1, 1981. For this reason, Fifth Circuit decisions from before this split are considered binding precedent in the Eleventh Circuit.
Judicial posts
The following table highlights the development of judicial posts for the Eleventh Circuit:[8]
| Year | Statute | Total Seats |
| October 14, 1980 | 94 Stat. 1994 | 12 |
Reversal rate
Since 2007, SCOTUS has released opinions in 1,313 cases. Of those, it reversed a lower court decision 938 times (71.4 percent) while affirming a lower court decision 363 times (27.6 percent).
In that time period, SCOTUS has decided 82 cases originating from the Eleventh Circuit, affirming in 29 cases and reversing in 53 cases, for a reversal rate of 65 percent. As of the end of the 2023 term, of the Article III circuits—the ordinal circuits, the D.C. Circuit, and the Federal Circuit—the court with the lowest rate of overturned decisions is the Fourth Circuit at 62.1 percent.

| • Eleventh Circuit holds that Alabama’s low property tax does not discriminate against poor and minority students (2014) | Click for summary→ |
|---|---|
| Students in two poor Alabama counties filed suit against the state, claiming that the low amount of property taxes collected in the state discriminates against poor and minority students. Portions of Alabama’s tax code cap the amount of property tax that can be collected and what types of property fall under that provision of the code. The students argued that the laws were meant to keep rural school districts, which are comprised of mostly black students, from raising funds.
United States District Judge Lynwood Smith previously dismissed the students’ case. In his lengthy order dismissing the case, Judge Smith said while that sections of the laws to which the students objected were enacted for a racially motivated reason, the laws did not disparately impact students across the state. As a result, he could not find the laws unconstitutional. The Eleventh Circuit’s three-judge panel, consisting of Judges Adalberto Jordan, Robert Lanier Anderson and Brock Hornby (sitting by designation), agreed with Judge Smith. Judge Jordan wrote for the panel. In his opinion, he said that the students lacked standing to bring a challenge to mileage-cap provisions, which the students said is a bar to raising property tax rates. Further, he indicated that Judge Smith did not err in finding that the property classification system was not devised with any racial malice in mind. Judge Jordan also pointed out that voters in both counties in which the students reside voted against raising property tax rates. Neither county collects at the maximum allowed rate. Alabama’s property tax rate is $539 per capita, which is the lowest in the nation. Articles: | |
| • Federal injunction against immigration law (2011) Judge(s):Rosemary Barkett, Edward Carnes and Frank Hull ((dead link) USA v. State of Alabama, No. 11-14532) | Click for summary→ |
|---|---|
|
On October 14, 2011, the Eleventh Circuit ruled on a federal injunction filed against an Alabama immigration law passed in June 2011. The court's ruling did not block all sections of the law, but did add additional blocks to those put in place by U.S. District Judge Sharon Blackburn's ruling in September 2011. Among the sections of the law that were temporarily blocked by the circuit court was one requiring public schools to check the immigration status of all enrolled students, and another making it a misdemeanor for immigrants to fail to carry registration on their person. However, the court allowed the state to enforce some key points of the law, including one that required police to try to determine the immigration status of an individual during lawful stops and arrests, one that invalidated contracts involving immigrants living in the country illegally, and one making it a felony crime for immigrants living in the country illegally to enter into a business transaction in the state of Alabama.[9] The full story can be found here. Parts of the law blocked by Judge Blackburn's ruling included:
Parts of the law blocked by this Eleventh Circuit decision included:
UpdateIn October 2013, the State of Alabama reached a settlement with the American Civil Liberties Union, one of the major challengers of the immigration law. The settlement ended the federal lawsuit and parts of the law voided by the Eleventh Circuit, including the requirement that schools check student citizenship and police detain individuals who could not prove citizenship during stops. It also required the state to pay attorney fees and expenses for bringing the suit.[12] | |

Federal courthouse
The Eleventh Circuit is located at the Elbert P. Tuttle U.S. Court of Appeals Building in Atlanta, Georgia. Ground was broken for the courthouse in 1907, and it was constructed to accommodate the federal services needed for the growing Atlanta population. The building was designed by Architect James Knox Taylor of the U.S. Treasury Department. The court occupied the building in 1981. The courthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.[13]
About United States Court of Appeals
The United States courts of appeals (or circuit courts) are the intermediate appellate courts of the United States federal courts. The court of appeals was originally created in 1891 and has grown to include thirteen courts.
A court of appeals decides appeals from any of the district courts that are in its federal judicial circuit. The appeals courts also can hear appeals from some administrative agencies. Decisions of the federal appeals courts can, in turn, be appealed to the Supreme Court of the United States.
There are thirteen United States courts of appeals. In addition, there are other federal courts (such as the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, which hears appeals in court-martial cases) that have "Court of Appeals" in their titles.
The eleven numbered circuits and the D.C. Circuit are defined by geography. The thirteenth court of appeal is the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. This court has nationwide jurisdiction over certain types of appeals based on what the underlying legal case is about.
All of the courts of appeals also hear appeals from some administrative agency decisions and rulemaking. The largest share of this type of case is heard by the D.C. Circuit. The Federal Circuit hears appeals from specialized trial courts, primarily the Court of International Trade and the Court of Federal Claims, as well as appeals from the district courts in patent cases and certain other specialized matters.
Federal circuit court judges are appointed for life. They are paid approximately $179,500 annually. At the age of 65, a federal judge may choose to retire with his or her full salary. Judges may also choose to go on senior status at age 65, if they have served actively for 15 years.[14]
Appointments by president
The chart below shows the number of appeals court judges confirmed by the U.S. Senate through September 1 of the first year of each president's second term in office. At this point in the term, Presidents Obama had the most appeals court appointments with 8.
