The Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals has jurisdiction over Minnesota, North and South Dakota, Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska, and Arkansas. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has jurisdiction over California, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and Hawaii.
The Circuit Court jurisdiction also may matter in U.S. Tax Court litigation – the Tax Court follows the law of the Circuit with jurisdiction over the taxpayer.
