Example Sentences

This was not the first time that court, sometimes called the C.C.A., had seemed to defy the Supreme Court, said Jordan M. Steiker, a law professor at the University of Texas.

From New York Times

One of the panel’s three judges dissented, writing that the complaint plausibly suggested that Sallie Mae “knew what C.C.A. was up to.”

From New York Times

While Moore was waiting for the C.C.A. to review that sentence, the Supreme Court issued its ruling in Atkins, and Moore’s lawyer petitioned the state trial court for another hearing.

From The New Yorker

In that hearing, in 2014, the judge found that Moore was intellectually disabled, and recommended that the C.C.A. grant his claim.

From The New Yorker

The C.C.A. rejected that recommendation, because that court “erred by disregarding our case law” in defining intellectual disability.
