∙ 14y agoCourts of appeals, including State and US Supreme Courts, seat a panel of three or more judges to review a case, in an attempt to ensure fairness and impartiality. A decision for a three-judge panel requires a 2-1 or 3-0 vote.
State supreme courts usually commission five to nine justices, who typically hear cases en banc (as a whole group). The US Supreme Court seats nine justices who also hear cases en banc, although fewer justices may hear a case, as long as the court convenes a quorum of six. Decisions require a simple majority (one vote more than half the justices hearing the case; for example, 5-4).
