Media Information
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.
Each request must be made not less
than three business days before the proceedings are scheduled to begin. The
request must be in writing, and submitted to the Clerk of the Court through
the district offices. In most cases, your written application can be most expeditiously
handled if it is filed in the district office where the oral argument is scheduled
to be heard.
The presiding judge of the panel
has discretion regarding all requests.
