In law, an en banc session (French for “in bench”) is a session in which a case is heard before all the judges of a court (before the entire bench) rather than by a panel of judges selected from them.
The travel ban was heard by three judges, en banc rules for the 9th circuit would mean a minimum of 11 judges and a maximum of twenty-five judges would rule on the lawsuit.

Thanks for the info.

Well, since we know the decision of the three wack jobs who decided this case from the 9th Circus didn't even make an effort to follow the law, anything might be an improvement.
