Practice question: Exclusive Original and Appellate Jurisdiction Over Civil Cases

Multiple Choice Hard

Practice question

An importer seeks CTA review of a covered COC release decision, while another litigant seeks review of the Agriculture Secretary's covered safeguard decision. Counsel argues neither belongs in CTA because it hears only income-tax assessments. Which is correct?
  1. CTA jurisdiction is exclusively limited to individual income tax.
  2. Both are separately identified statutory appellate categories, subject to their actual prerequisites.
  3. Only the amount of counsel's fee determines both appeals.
  4. All agency decisions necessarily go to CTA regardless of subject.
  5. Every customs release decision is a criminal conviction.
