CAAF will sit for the final time this term next week. Yet, of all the cases it heard this term, only seven opinions have been published. CAAF does not impose a June deadline, as the Supreme Court does, but experienced courtwatchers say it is rare for a large number of opinions to be released after June. What's to explain the backlog? Fractured court? A = Author, D = Dissent, C/D = Concur/Dissent, X = in the majority for last season's opinions. Compare this with the CAAF Annual Report 2023, which includes 19 additional Ex Writs without a written opinion. When appellants and their families ask, "How long will this take?" Look at the charts beginning on page 13.

I think it is a divided court, and they are having a difficult time assigning opinions because they cannot agree. 5/3/2024 17:12:31

Maybe this blog lit a fire, because CAAF has issued opinions in 3 cases in the last 2 days. Comments are closed.
