Introduction, Marsha S. Berzon

Golden Gate University Law Review

As judges of the geographically largest and busiest federal circuit court of appeals, the 26 active and 22 senior Ninth Circuit judges rarely have the luxury of looking back at the cases we have decided, rather than working on the opinions yet to be written and preparing for the new cases coming up for argument. That the Golden Gate University Law Review has for so many years (since Volume 6 in 1976) produced this annual volume documenting and analyzing our work product has been essential in filling the gap by providing an objective assessment of what – and how – …

Unfairness In Access To And Citation Of Unpublished Federal Court Decisions, Peter Jan Honigsberg, James A. Dikel Sep 2010

Unfairness In Access To And Citation Of Unpublished Federal Court Decisions, Peter Jan Honigsberg, James A. Dikel

Golden Gate University Law Review

An unfair system has evolved over the past fifteen years in the federal courts. The federal courts changed the concept of stare decisis. In 1972, the Judicial Conference of the United States decided that they needed to reduce the increasing workload of the federal judges. The best way to do so, they thought, was to distinguish between decisions. Some would be worthy of publication and some would not be.
