Judicial Council: Nonvoting Council Position (Action Required)
body
Summary
Summary
The Judicial Council consists of the Chief Justice and one other justice of the Supreme Court, three justices of Courts of Appeal, 10 judges of superior courts, two nonvoting court administrators, and such other nonvoting members as determined by the voting membership of the council, each appointed by the Chief Justice to three-year terms. The Chief Justice has requested the chair of the Executive and Planning Committee submit a request to create one advisory, nonvoting Judicial Council position for a single three-year term. With two advisory positions expiring in September 2016, the direct net effect of adding this advisory position, effective September 15, 2016, would be to decrease the Judicial Council’s total membership by one member, to a total of 31 members.
