Washington, D.C. – The House Judiciary Committee today approved by a vote of 16-5 the Court Imbalance Restructure Concerning Updates to Impacted Tribunals (CIRCUIT) Act of 2018, H.R. 6754. This bill, authored by Courts, Intellectual Property, and the Internet Subcommittee Chairman Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), modifies the structure of the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit (into three areas with a fourth to resolve conflicting issues).
The CIRCUIT Act would implement the 1998 White Commission’s recommendation to create three regional divisions within the Ninth Circuit in order to improve judicial efficiency. The divisions would include a Northern Division, comprised of Alaska, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, and Washington, a Middle Division comprised of the existing Northern and Eastern Districts of California, Guam, Hawaii, Nevada, and the Northern Marianas, a Southern Division comprised of Arizona and the existing Central and Southern Districts of California, and a Circuit Division which would hear certain cases including where two or more Divisions have reached final decisions of law that conflict.
