Also, New Orleans is home to the United States Court of Appeal for the Fifth Circuit, which has appellate jurisdiction over Federal matters in Louisiana, Texas, and Mississippi.  Federal judges are appointed by the executive branch and serve for life.  Bankruptcy judges are appointed by the Court of Appeals and serve 14-year terms.
