  • En banc: In the bench or "full bench." Refers to court sessions with the entire membership of a court participating rather than the usual quorum. U.S. courts of appeals usually sit in panels of three judges, but may expand to a larger number in certain cases. They are then said to be sitting en banc.
Attorneys who are magistrates may practice law under such conditions as the district judges sitting en banc in the judicial district may provide, subject to Supreme Court rule.
