| is there a word for when the Court of Appeals decides to hear a case? |
|
I couldn't find anything that gives a term for that. Everything I looked at said "when a case has been approved"..so on and so forth. But I did find this site that has a listing of terms. http://www.in.gov/judiciary/about/glossary-body.shtm |
| Thank you, I'm filling out a study guide for a class I'm taking and I think the question is just poorly written. I believe they're referring to en banc which would mean the entire court is present to hear the case but the way they have the question worded it sounded as if they were looking for a specific term used when the court accepts a case. |

Courts of appeal typically dont "accept" cases. They take whats thrown at them. En Banc is where someone isn't happy with how a panel decided a case, and they petition the entire court to hear a case. The Supreme Court uses the writ of certiorari because they have such a high volume of cases. |
