The Fourth Circuit Court was established on June 16, 1891 and is known as the most efficient of the 13 courts of appeals, taking an average of only 7 months to resolve each appeal. The Lewis F. Powell, Jr., U.S. Courthouse where the Court sits was one of only two buildings in the historic core of Richmond, Virginia, to survive the fire in 1865 that marked the evacuation of the Confederate Army during the last days of the Civil War. The Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court is always assigned to the Fourth Circuit as the circuit advisory justice, due to Richmond's close proximity to Washington, D.C.
