Which of the following statements is TRUE about the Trade Court?

Question

A. court of first instance; constitutional court
B. trials heard en banc; first established in 1890
C. focuses on port cities; highly secretive
D. appeals go to Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit; chief judge is from Supreme Court

Answer 1

The correct statement about the Trade Court is:

D. appeals go to Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit; chief judge is from Supreme Court.

The U.S. Court of International Trade, commonly referred to as the Trade Court, hears cases involving international trade and customs issues. Appeals from the Trade Court are taken to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Chief Judge of the Trade Court is not from the Supreme Court; however, the statement primarily addresses the appeals process, which is accurate. The other statements are incorrect in their descriptions.
