Supreme Court Justice Circuit Riding Act to restore justices serving on federal appeals courts.
The Supreme Court Justice Circuit Riding Act aims to restore the practice of Supreme Court justices serving on federal appeals courts. It mandates the allotment of justices to circuits during specified periods, with regulations issued by the Chief Justice. Justices must sit on panels for at least 10 days annually and cannot participate in en banc rehearings of cases they have already heard. The act seeks to enhance public trust by bringing justices closer to the American public and exposing them to diverse legal issues.
