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.
Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in
documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury)
to decide the case for one side or the other.
