Delay studying delay?

Today's DJ has Study of 3rd District delays by Judicial Council hasn’t started --  "In September, the California Supreme Court recommended "the Judicial Council complete an investigation of alleged delays in the 3rd District Court of Appeal's disposition of criminal appeals" within 180 days. ... That deadline passed last week with no report. A spokesman for the Judicial Council said the court is awaiting a report from the Commission on Judicial Performance and questioned if the council "even can conduct an investigation.""

Today's DJ also has Moskovitz on Appeal, in Trial Court Winners Can Become Appellate Court Losers, about the dangers of winning in the trial court on flimsy grounds that are destined to be reversed.

And today's DJ has Justice Hoffstadt's You Complete Me, about the recent SCOTUS decision in Hemphill v. New York, "the latest chapter in what might be called 'The Chronicles of Crawford [v. Washington, 541 U.S. 36 (2004)].""
