Bad News in your court case? Have hope…
Did the judge in your case just issue a decision that misapprehends an important point of law or fact? What can you do? Depending on your jurisdiction and stage of the case, you may be able to file a Motion for Reconsideration (or Rehearing) – this asks them to reconsider before it’s finalized – or a Motion for a Written Opinion – if granted, this could lay the jurisdictional groundwork for your case to be taken to the next highest court. Check out a real-life example here: https://wp.me/aecX6i-3wg

Take that, bureaucracy!
The Supreme Court in a vote of 6–3 overturned the so-called Chevron deference, a bureaucracy-empowering judicial doctrine that critics say led to the explosive growth of the U.S. government in recent decades.

Interactive Court Data Dashboard, Judicial Council Report Launched
In an effort to boost transparency, the Michigan Supreme Court has launched the Interactive Court Data DashboardInteractive Court Data Dashboard. The data provided in this user-friendly interface was formerly only available in a static format.
