Tomorrow, the Appellate Courts Section of the Los Angeles County Bar Association will present a virtual program on the Ninth Circuit’s use of the procedure authorized by rule 8.548 to “request” that the Supreme Court “decide a question of California law.”
It will be an excellent panel: Supreme Court Justice Leondra Kruger and Ninth Circuit Judge John Owens will discuss the request process with the moderator, Buchalter shareholder and appellate lawyer M.C. Sungaila.
