Discussion includes the 5th circuit court of appeals covers Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi and the district courts within the 5th circuit, how things are structured, the responsibilities of each court and how appeals work with circuit courts.
The 5th circuit is one of the most conservative circuit courts in the country. Of the 17 active judges only 2 were appointed by democrats and 6 of them were appointed by Donald Trump. There are 9 senior judges that have a large body of experience that basically work 1/2 time and have not yet retired. The only court that is above the circuit courts is the United States Supreme Court.
Hawk specifically discusses a court within the 5th circuit containing around 20-30 counties in North Texas. Of interest is a case that is pending with the US Supreme Court Securities and Exchange Comission v. Jarkesy which came from an appellate decision that was written in the 5th circuit (link below):

This case has the potential to gut the regulation and enforcement capacities of departments and agencies within the Executive Branch of United States Government. This could create a level of havoc in the United States by rendering parts of the Executive Branch toothless. Republicans love this because they hate regulation and government.
