September 19, 2011
ANN ARBOR, MI – The Thomas More Law Center announced today that it will petition for an en banc review of the controversial Ninth Circuit Court 3-judge panel decision that overturned a lower court decision, which had upheld the right of a school teacher to display patriotic banners in his classroom that mentioned God.The phrase “en banc” refers to the entire U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. In this case, the entire eligible voting membership of the Ninth Circuit will determine if the en banc petition should be granted. If the petition is granted, eleven circuit judges will be selected to rehear the appeal.
