	Federal Judicial History \| Courts of the District of Columbia
		The circuit court for the District of Columbia was authorized to exercise the same jurisdiction as the U.S. circuit courts, which served as trial courts and heard some appeals from U.S. district courts.
		The work of the court in the late-nineteenth century continued to be dominated by matters of local jurisdiction, although its federal jurisdiction gave it an increasingly important role in the oversight of the executive branch.
		In decisions of 1927 and 1933, the Supreme Court of the United States declared that the Court of Appeals and the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia were comparable to the U.S. circuit courts of appeals and the U.S. district courts, respectively.

		The court of appeals thus reaffirmed that, under District of Columbia law, an aider and abettor is liable for the' "natural and probable consequences" of his criminal scheme whether or not he specifically intends the consequences themselves.

		DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA APPEALS COURT REJECTS BUSINESS JUDGMENT RULES IN REVIEWING DECISIONS OF Decisions of condominium and cooperative board of directors in the District of Columbia must be “reasonable” and are not entitled to judicial deference based on the “business judgment rule”, according to two recent decisions of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals.
		The trial court ruled in favor of the cooperative, concluding that since the board deliberately and carefully considered numerous options and determined what was best for the cooperative as a whole, the “business judgment rule” precluded the claims of the co-op members.
		Therefore, the trial court was directed to determine whether the board’s action was reasonable and whether the directors had adhered to their fiduciary obligation.
