Rules Advisory Committee

Vacancies

The Court's Rules of Practice and Procedure, Rule 40, call for the appointment of a Rules Advisory Committee. By Rule, the Committee members may serve up to three consecutive terms of two years. We will have two vacancies on the Committee, as of mid November, 2016, and an additional vacancy just after the beginning of 2017.

The Court is accepting letters of interest from members of the Court's bar indicating a willingness to serve on the Court's Rules Advisory Committee. The Court is also interested in receiving nominations for service on the Committee.

The Rules Advisory Committee studies and advises the Court on possible changes to Rules of the Court, either sua sponte or at the request of the Court.

Please direct your expressions of interest and nominations by letter to the Clerk of the Court:
