On the AB2125 front, The Recorder has Lawmakers Advance Bill to Allow Disqualification of Appellate Justices
And the NLJ has Uniform Bar Admissions Rule for US Trial Courts Draws Opposition from Circuit, District Judges
Appellate courts already operate under a uniform admissions rule.
Under the federal procedure rules, the only requirement for those seeking to argue in federal appeals courts is that they be admitted to the highest court of any state.
But [Third Circuit Judge Kent] Jordan said the admissions process for appellate and trial courts are not comparable because the courts function differently.“I can tell you there is a gigantic difference between having people… parachute in and do an appellate argument, and [having] somebody say, ‘I want to appear in federal court all the time. I’m going to establish an employment law practice in the federal courts and I’m not going to take your state bar,’” he said. “I just think you’re getting a push back for a reason.”
