Question

1. for certain appeals, a court case may be sent to the highest level of the court system, which is ____.

○ the u.s. courts of appeals
○ the u.s. district court
○ the u.s. supreme court
○ the u.s. appellate court

Explanation:

In the U.S. court system, the Supreme Court is the highest - level court. The U.S. courts of appeals are intermediate appellate courts, the U.S. district courts are trial courts, and the term "U.S. appellate court" is a general term for appellate - level courts but not the highest. So for certain appeals, the highest - level court a case can be sent to is the U.S. Supreme Court.

Answer:

C. the U.S. Supreme Court
