The Judicial Panels Series is organized in six subseries: A. Three-Judge Court, B. Three-Judge Panels, C. En Banc, D. Regular Panels, E. Screening/Standing Panels, F. Interim Matters. Subseries are arranged according to original order, which is often by case number and loosely chronological by hearing date. Files document cases that Judge Morgan heard, reviewed, or for which he wrote opinions (a written statement of the majority decision that panels reached in each case) when he served on judicial panels in the Fifth (later, Eleventh) Circuit Court of Appeals. Judge Morgan's Three-Judge Court files document U.S. District Court cases. The series includes copies of Judge Morgan's opinions and forms regarding cases that were submitted to the Clerk of the Court for the official record. Also includes correspondence and memoranda between judges regarding the cases, clerks' memoranda, per curiam opinions, transcripts, briefs and documents submitted by each party as a part of the case. Cases heard in the Court of Appeals were typically appeals from the U.S. District Court.
