En Banc Review

What are the requirements (or what triggers) en banc review in the Ninth Circuit? Are these requirements uniform across the circuits? As a former federal appellate clerk I should know the answer to this question. However, with some embarrassment, I confess that I do not and would welcome help

Thanks. The "colonization laws" were of course voluntary and almost blacks took advantage of them. My sense is that they were mostly to placate voters back home and border state Unionists. No one implemented them. As for Ben Butler, he is not always the most accurate reporter of events; hard

The Chief Judge (presently Mary Schroeder) sits on all en banc panels. Beyond that, it's a random drawing, and the original three-member panel is not automatically included. Additional trivia: Senior judges ordinarily are ineligible to serve on the en banc panel, but they are eligible (and thus

As to the same justices that honor federalism and state sovereignty in the 11th amendment-type cases being the same justices that created the equal protection override of state elections in Bush v. Gore, that seems at least an irony. It is, of course, one of the principal reasons for criticizing

I think that the argument that the courts should wait until after the election to intervene (if necessary) is deeply misguided. Intervention at that time will produce the maximum blow to judical credibility and the maximum suspicion of judicial partisanship, because everyone will know who the

Two points here: (1) If you want until Sept. 10 to move to enjoin a white primary scheduled October 1, you'd better worry about laches, especially since the Supreme Court had upheld Texas's white primary in 1935 (Grovey v. Townsend) and U.S. v. Classic, the case that ostensibly changed the law

Prior to 1998, parties could petition for rehearing, but could not petition for rehearing in banc. If they wanted rehearing in banc, they could merely suggest it. As a result, parties would file a petition for rehearing with a suggestion for rehearing in banc. FRAP 35 was amended in 1998 to

In most circuits, the requirement is that a majority of judges vote for en banc review after at least 1 judge requests such a vote. I assume the rules are the same, or similar, in the 9th Circuit, but don't know for sure. Ilya Somin On Wed, 17 Sep 2003, Robert Justin Lipkin wrote:
