I can’t reliably pull the very latest updates about the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit right now, because I don’t currently have access to the live news sources I’d normally use for “latest” items.
That said, here are recent, verifiable items related to the Ninth Circuit that show up in available reporting:
- Legislation to split the Ninth Circuit (proposed again): U.S. Senators Mike Crapo and Jim Risch reintroduced a bill (the Judicial Reorganization Act) intended to split the current Ninth Circuit into a new Twelfth Circuit, citing backlog/overburdening concerns.[2]
- Ongoing coverage and docket-related reporting: The Ninth Circuit has an active news surface via its own “News Media” page (useful for the court’s press releases and announcements, including events and case-related items).[6]
- A place to scan broader recent commentary: JURIST maintains an archive of Ninth Circuit-related news items and commentary (helpful for quickly seeing what’s been reported recently).[5]
If you want, I can narrow it
Reply with one of these and I’ll tailor a “latest news” brief to it (e.g., 5–10 bullets with sources):
- A topic area (e.g., immigration, gun rights, environmental law, labor/employment, criminal appeals)
- A time window (e.g., past 24 hours, past week, past month)
- Whether you want court press releases only (from the Ninth Circuit site) or media/news coverage too.
