C.2 Overview of District of Columbia Court System (DCCS)

C.2.1 The D.C. Courts is the judicial branch of the District of Columbia and comprises

three entities: the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, the Superior Court of the

District of Columbia, and the District of Columbia Court System (“DCCS”). DCCS

includes the Executive Office and administrative offices that support both courts.

The D.C. Courts is a fully unified large urban court system with over 95 judicial

officers and approximately 1,200 employees.

C.2.2 The Courts include the Court of Appeals, the District of Columbia’s highest court,

Government administrative agencies. Final judgments of the Court of Appeals are

reviewable by the U.S. Supreme Court.
