Which states are in the Fourth Circuit?

• A. South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland.
• B. California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada
• C. Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas
• D. New York, New Jersey, Connecticut

Answer: (A)

This question tests your knowledge of which states fall under the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. The Fourth Circuit covers Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. Federal appeals arising from district courts in those states go to this circuit, making that set the correct one. The other options list states that belong to different circuits, not the Fourth. For example, the West Coast states are in the Ninth Circuit, and the Texas/Oklahoma/Arkansas grouping spans other circuits (not all in the Fourth). So the best answer is the group of South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland.
