The Federal Appeals Court of the Capital was first founded in 1873, after several spikes in the number of cases filed in Mechanicsburg. The court was at first meant to compliment the [[Federal Appeals Court of the Grassland Area]], handling all cases from the capital city, however in 1881 with a decision by the [[United States of Quentin Judicial Procedures Board|Judicial Procedures Board]], the appeals court became a court to handle special decisions and intergovernmental appeals, as well as cases from Mechanicsburg. In 1901, a ruling from the Board again changed the duty of the court, as the Grassland Area Appeals Court was given shared authority to hear appeals from the capital city, along with the Appeals Court of the Capital. Because of its special roles and responsibilities, as well as the fact that it has jurisdiction over the capital of the [[Grassland Area]] and all intergovernmental state and local disputes, it is one of the more prestigious appeals courts in existence in the country today.

With the establishment of the Appeals Court of the Capital in 1873, it was determined that the court would have a chief justice, to lead the court in many of its decisions and organize many cases and the more administrative aspects of the court. The chief justice communicates closely with the overseeing Supreme Decider for the court, and may choose which cases to hear personally. In addition, they lead one of the three main panels of the appeals court along with the two senior justices. Like other federal courts in the nation, the chief justice is usually chosen from the existing members of the court, who is then elevated to the chief justice position. Currently the chief justice is [[Brian Thomas]], who has served in that position since 2011. Thomas was originally appointed by [[President of the USQ|President]] [[Blaze Peters]] in 1998, and after 13 years of serving as a justice, he was elevated by President [[Kyle Lovestington]] to become the court's chief justice, succeeding Chief Justice [[Sophie Collins II]].

The United States of Quentin Federal Appeals Court of the Capital (abbreviated CAP-FA in case citations) is one of 17 current United States of Quentin Federal Courts of Appeals. It has the smallest jurisdiction of any of the appellate courts, as its civil and criminal capabilities only apply to the city of Mechanicsburg, however is the primary federal appellate court when reviewing appeals of intergovernmental cases on the local or state levels, or on specialized topics such as the legality of committees and actions of the public. Officially, it covers no federal district courts as its jurisdiction is restricted to the city of Mechanicsburg, however it does have the ability to review civil and criminal appeals filed in the city itself, although these cases make up the minority of its business. The court currently meets at the Miller Federal Courthouse of Mechanicsburg, on Miller Street in downtown Mechanicsburg.

The Federal Appeals Court of the Capital was first founded in 1873, after several spikes in the number of cases filed in Mechanicsburg. The court was at first meant to compliment the Federal Appeals Court of the Grassland Area, handling all cases from the capital city, however in 1881 with a decision by the Judicial Procedures Board, the appeals court became a court to handle special decisions and intergovernmental appeals, as well as cases from Mechanicsburg. In 1901, a ruling from the Board again changed the duty of the court, as the Grassland Area Appeals Court was given shared authority to hear appeals from the capital city, along with the Appeals Court of the Capital. Because of its special roles and responsibilities, as well as the fact that it has jurisdiction over the capital of the Grassland Area and all intergovernmental state and local disputes, it is one of the more prestigious appeals courts in existence in the country today.

Appointment of the justices of the Capital Appeals Court, of which there are currently 13, has been varied over the years. As the House of Bureaucrats and President each have the power to appoint half of all appeals court justices, traditionally the House would appoint the members of the least populated states, and the President would appoint the members of the most populated states, with some exceptions. However, the Federal Appeals Court of the Capital is currently divided, as the President appoints eight of the justices, and the House appoints seven. Each of the justices of the Federal Capital Appeals Court serves for terms of 17 years, with a maximum term number being three. Requirement to be a justice on the appeals court aligns with the requirements for other federal judges, with an age of 21 years and passage of law exams necessary.
