4/1 back to remote

Yesterday 4/1 announced: In light of the current COVID-19 surge, the Fourth District, Division One, will return to remote-only oral argument for January 2022. All parties who previously requested to appear in-person will be required to appear remotely.

Also, today's DJ has an Exceptionally Appealing column (that appears the first Tuesday of the month) titled The 2021 Appellate Year in Review, covering news from the past year about federal appointments, SCOTUS, the 9th Circuit, California's appellate courts, amended rules, and noteworthy precedent.
