Abstract:
Division of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is long overdue. While Congress in 1978 delayed taking the required action to allow innovations in administration of a large circuit to be tested, these innovations have not mitigated the harmful effects on the Court resulting from its large number of judges and arbitrary en banc procedure.
