Media Policy The Michigan Court of Appeals follows the procedure outlined in the Michigan Supreme Court's Administrative Order 1989-1. A full review of that order will be very helpful in deciding whether and how to cover oral arguments. Media requests must be submitted in writing, preferably on SCAO approved form MC 27 (2/89), to the Clerk's Office. In most cases, a request can be handled more quickly if it is filed in the district office where the oral argument is scheduled to be heard. A request should be made not less than three business days before the date of oral argument to ensure the timely submission of the request to the case call panel. Requests filed less than three days before oral argument may not be timely submitted to the panel or may provide cause for denying the request. The presiding judge of the panel has discretion regarding all requests. The full text of Media Coverage of Oral Argument and Request for Media Coverage of Court Proceedings are available in PDF format.
Weapons Policy In accordance with Article 6, sections 1, 4, and 5 of the Michigan Constitution, and Administrative Order 2001-1, the following Weapons Policy is adopted for the Court of Appeals. It is available in PDF format.
