  • Michigan Court Practice Committee initial report on the priority summary disposition docket.
  • The Michigan Supreme Court has requested that the Court of Appeals Delay Reduction Work Group monitor the expedited docket program and provide the Court with written updates on the program at both the twelve month and eighteen month anniversaries. The Appellate Practice Section has created a form as a means to obtain information from appellate practitioners regarding their experiences in handling appeals on the expedited track. The Section will collect and analyze the information submitted by the practitioners and relay this information to the Work Group and the Supreme Court. Practitioners' "real life" experiences handling appeals on the expedited track will be invaluable to this process and will greatly assist the Work Group and the Court in analyzing the effectiveness of this program in reducing delay in the Court of Appeals.
