response: I don't know when they were first established, but I know that they are called circuit courts because judges rode around the countryside in circuits, or pre-set paths. Isn't that interesting?
original_response: Quite a while, since the term circuit court is derived from the practice of judges riding the countryside on preset paths.
history: I'm a judge in the Circuit court. Oh, cool! I know circuit courts are part of common law systems. How do you like being a judge? Honestly, it's a bit intimidating. I woefully underqualified. I'm a bit embarrassed to ask, but what does a circuit court do? Well the core concept requires judges to travel to different locations. Do circuit courts have juries? Well, I don't know if they have juries. I do know the reason the judges travel is to maintain a wide visibility and a good understanding of the cases in a given region. Is there anything else you need to know? When were circuit courts first established?
knowledge: Thus, the term ''circuit court'' is derived from the practice of having judges ride around the countryside each year on pre-set paths − circuits − to hear cases.
