Geographic jurisdiction shapes which case types each circuit hears.

Evidence

The Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, for example, considers large numbers of banking cases because New York City, the hub of the nation’s banking, is within its jurisdiction. And because so many federal administrative agencies are located in the District of Columbia, about half the caseload of its court of appeals involves challenges to orders issued by those agencies. — G.
