This chapter describes the judicial highway in terms of the type and volume and flow of its traffic, with some attention to how this is evolving over time. Describing a court in terms of its evolving formal jurisdiction is not unlike describing a major highway in terms of a line on the map — it is accurate and useful for many purposes, but it leaves many questions unanswered.
