elsewhere, virus affects appellate courts around the country

  • The First Circuit extended the deadline for non-emergency filings, like briefs, in cases that haven’t been scheduled for oral argument, argued before a panel or expedited.
  • The Sixth Circuit postponed its judicial conference that was scheduled for June as a result of the virus. The conference will instead be held in June of 2021.
  • The Federal Circuit canceled seven more in-person arguments for cases scheduled in April. Some of those cases had previously been scheduled for argument by phone.
