en banc en · ADJ

Etymology

Borrowed from French en banc (literally “on a bench”).

Meanings

  1. (not-comparable) As a group, particularly with respect to a legal decision rendered by all of the judges sitting on a court, rather than by a smaller panel of judges from that court.
    • While dissentals are more common, judges on both this and other courts have, on occasion, penned dissents from the grant of en banc review. ... These disgrantles are understandably rare.... […] But because the Ninth Circuit’s peculiar en banc procedures do not guarantee participation in the en banc panel to all active judges, a disgrantle is the only guaranteed way a judge on this court can publicly explain why it was inappropriate for our court to take a particular case en banc. 2024, Lawrence VanDyke, United States v. Duarte, page 2:
