question 45

Multiple Choice

[Appellate Court] DeShaun, who is a bit eccentric, is fed up with the way a certain employer in his town treats employees and decides to sue on behalf of all those employees. DeShaun also says that he is going to start his case at the appellate court level, skipping over all those "lesser" judges. DeShaun says that those justices will surely hear him out and that he will also seek a jury.
-Assuming DeShaun eventually ends up at the appellate level, is he entitled to a jury at the appellate level?

• A) No, jurors are not used at the appellate court level.
• B) Yes, but only if he had a jury first at the trial court level.
• C) Yes, if he satisfies the requirements to initially bring the case in appellate court, he is entitled to a jury.
• D) Yes, but only if the employer agrees to a jury.
• E) Yes, because appellate courts decide questions of fact while questions of law are decided at the trial court level.
