The Fifth Circuit Court was established on June 16, 1891 and is known for its history of involvement in crucial civil rights decisions in the 1960’s. On June 25, 1948, the Panama Canal Zone was added to the Fifth Circuit, and on March 31, 1982, the Court lost jurisdiction as the Canal Zone transferred to Panamanian control.
