The court consists of a chief judge and eight associate judges. The court is assisted by the service of retired judges who have been recommended and approved as senior judges.<br />The D.C. Court of Appeals is the equivalent of a state supreme court. As the highest court for the District of Columbia, the Court of Appeals is authorized to review all final orders, judgments and specified interlocutory orders of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. The Court also has jurisdiction to review decisions of administrative agencies, boards, and commissions of the District of Columbia government, as well as to answer questions of law certified by federal and state appellate courts. As authorized by Congress, the Court reviews proposed rules of the Superior Court and promulgates its own rules.<br /> <br />In the exercise of its inherent jurisdiction over members of the legal profession, the Court established the District of Columbia Bar and has the power to approve the rules regarding attorney discipline. The Court also approves the rules regarding attorney conduct and has established rules governing the admission of members of the District of Columbia Bar and the resolution of complaints concerning the unauthorized practice of law in the District of Columbia.<br /><br />Mary Mcnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-489562395997565051.post-24660455814621952302013-01-04T22:05:06.299-05:002013-01-04T22:05:06.299-05:00Actually I misled you - I was in jury duty in the ...Actually I misled you - I was in jury duty in the Courthouse of the Superior Court, not the Court of Appeals. I just walked by this building on my way home. Do appeals courts have juries? I'm thinking they don't but I don't know why I think that.Mary Mcnoreply@blogger.com
