Wasby, Why Sit En Banc?, 63 Hastings L.J. 747 (2012). Available at: https://repository.uchastings.edu/hastings_law_journal/vol63/iss3/3 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by the Law Journals at UC Hastings Scholarship Repository. It has been accepted for inclusion in Hastings Law Journal by an authorized editor of UC Hastings Scholarship Repository. Wasby_63-HLJ-747 (Do Not Delete) 3/26/2012 5:28 PM Why Sit En Banc? Stephen L. Wasby* U.S. courts of appeals seldom provide reasons for granting or denying rehearing en banc. The most likely reason for rehearing en banc is that other judges believe the three-judge panel deciding the case had erred, although rehearing is not sought each time judges disagree with a panel. The formal bases for rehearing a case en banc include the three desiderata of Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 35—conflict with circuit precedent (intracircuit conflict), conflict with Supreme Court rulings, and presence of an issue of “exceptional importance”—and courts’ rules and general orders. Judges introduce other considerations, such as an intercircuit conflict, institutional concerns about resources necessary to hear a case en banc, and whether a case should proceed directly to the Supreme Court. This Article presents a detailed description of reasons judges offer each other as they seek to have a case taken en banc or argue against such rehearing after a three-judge panel has filed its decision.

That record of accom- plishment is chronicled in the pages that follow. With the merger of the National Center and the Institute for Court Management, the National Center has been able to make sub- stantial progress toward accomplishing a major organizational objective, and ICM has been able to strengthen its training programs for court personnel. The National Center’s initiative in the area of delay reduction is well under way with two major studies of general jurisdiction trial courts in progress.

During the year, the National Center responded hlly to the-increased need for staff sup- port of the Conference of Chief Justices, the Conference of State Court Administrators, and the many other national court organizations served by the Center. Noteworthy was the passage by the Congress late in 1984 of the State Justice Institute Act, an achievement that would not have been possible without the National Center’s assistance. The increased ability of the National Center to be of service to the states is made pos- sible by the high level of support it receives from them.
