The judicial appointments will conform to the following conditions: Li must be appointed to the appellate court. Kurtz must be appointed to the trial court. Hamadi cannot be appointed to the same court as Perkins. If Ortiz is appointed to the appellate court, which one of the following must be true?
hypothesis: Jefferson is appointed to the trial court.
