En banc or in bank is a term used to refer to the hearing of a case by all the judges of a court. Appellate courts in the United States sometimes grant rehearing en banc to reconsider a decision of a panel of the court (a panel generally consisting of only three judges), where the case concerns a matter of exceptional public importance or the panel's decision appears to conflict with a prior decision of the court. More rarely, an appellate court will order hearing en banc as an initial matter.
