Summary
Summary
The Administrative Presiding Justices Advisory Committee recommends adopting a new rule to establish procedures for submitting to the administrative presiding justices (APJs) contentions that an APJ or presiding justice has not properly addressed or managed an important matter related to the administration of a Court of Appeal or a division of a Court of Appeal. This proposal is based on a recommendation from the Appellate Caseflow Workgroup and would advance the efficient, effective, and proper administration of the Courts of Appeal.
