LAKER AIRWAYS LIMITED, A FOREIGN CORPORATION v. SABENA, BELGIAN WORLD AIRLINES, A FOREIGN CORPORATION KLM, ROYAL DUTCH AIRLINES, A FOREIGN CORPORATION, APPELLANT Nos. 83-1280, 83-1281 UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA CIRCUIT 3 235 U.S. App. D.C. 207; 731 F.2d 909; 1984 U.S. App. LEXIS 24811; 1984-1 Trade Cas.

3 This court hears appeals from the trial court (federal district court) in Washington D.C. The federal district court in Washington D.C. hears the exact same type of cases (federal question and diversity jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. 1331 and 1332, respectively) as the federal district court in Chicago (Northern District of Illinois) or any of the other federal trial courts.

This Circuit Court of Appeals does not have a number, like the First through the Eleventh. Instead of a number, you should write the following: D.C. Cir.

See the next footnote for the distinction between this court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. I wouldn't waste your time with all this if you didn't need to know it.

Learning citations may be a big headache, but legally, they are neither an "add-on" nor "busy work." CITATIONS TELL US THE SOURCE OF LAW. If we don't know the source of the law, we cannot know whether that law binds / governs our client's conduct, or our opponent's conduct.

4 As mentioned elsewhere, this court is a court of specialized subject-matter jurisdiction. This court hears appeals from trial decisions of the Court of Claims and the United States Court of International Trade. Instead of a number, such as 1st Cir., write Fed. Cir. Be sure to write Fed. Cir. in the exact same place, within the citation, as you would write the numerical circuit.
