Which field contains the case number for the offense?

• A. Cause number
• B. County of conviction
• C. Sentence date
• D. Maximum expiration date

Answer: (A)

The key idea is knowing where the system stores the official court reference that identifies a specific offense. The field that holds the court-assigned reference for the case is the cause number, which uniquely identifies the court action for that offense. This is why it’s the correct place for the case number. The other fields describe different aspects: the county of conviction shows where the case was tried, not the case identifier; the sentence date notes when the sentence was imposed; and the maximum expiration date indicates the latest date the sentence could end. So, the cause number is the field that contains the case number for the offense.
