Judicial Council

The Mission of the Judicial Council of the Ninth Circuit is to support the effective and expeditious administration of justice and the safeguarding of fairness in the administration of the courts within the circuit. To do so, it will promote the fair and prompt resolution of disputes, ensure the effective discharge of court business, prevent any form of invidious discrimination, and enhance public understanding of, and confidence in, the judiciary. To help accomplish its governance goals, the Judicial Council relies on three associations of judicial officers and a number of standing advisory committees. Office of the Circuit Executive
