Question

There are up to _ judges on an appeals court, only usually hear each case.

a. 12;5
b. 12;3
c. 15;5
d. 15;3

I chose d. The book states that, that the United states is divided into 13 courts of appeals. There are 12 geographic circuits, and 1 U.S. Court of Appeals. Each of the 13 appeals courts has between 6 and 28 judges. Usually 3 judges hear each case.

Answer 1

3 is correct for the second number, so a and c are out.

I'd go with d, also, even though your book and different sources in search results online say 28 for the first number.

Strange answer choices, yes?

Answer 2

Carrie, your book is absolutely correct. I have NO idea where these multiple choice numbers come from and have no way to advise you.

Answer 3

The correct answer is d. There are 13 courts of appeals in the United States. Each of these appeals courts has between 6 and 28 judges. However, usually only 3 judges hear each case. So, there are up to 15 judges on an appeals court, but only 3 usually hear each case.
