judicial council

Read a random definition: Equal Access to Justice Act

A quick definition of judicial council:

A judicial council is a group of judges who work together to make sure that the courts they are a part of are running smoothly and effectively. They meet regularly to discuss ways to improve the court system and make it more efficient. This group is especially important in the federal court system, where judges from a specific circuit come together twice a year to discuss important issues.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A group of judges who meet regularly to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the courts they serve on. This can include a semiannual meeting of judges in a federal circuit, called by the circuit's chief judge.

Example: The Judicial Council of California is a group of judges who meet regularly to discuss ways to improve the state's court system. They work on issues such as court funding, technology, and access to justice.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a judicial council can work to improve the court system. By bringing together judges from different courts, they can share ideas and best practices, and work together to address common challenges. In this case, the Judicial Council of California is focused on improving the state's court system, which can benefit everyone who uses the courts.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
