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.
