Northern District Judges Withdraw Request to Eliminate Divisions
Last month I wrote about the request by the federal court judges in the Northern District to eliminate divisions. Last week the Mississippi Bar reported that the judges have withdrawn the request:
Last week the Bar was notified by the Fifth Circuit that the judges of the Northern District of Mississippi have agreed by consensus to withdraw their request to eliminate statutory divisions at this time. Thank you to those of you who provided comments.
My interpretation of this is that the members of the Bar were not in favor of the request and spoke out against it in response to the Bar's request for feedback.
