Tentative rulings aren't so "far-fetched"
Especially given that one division is already doing it. By Ciarán O'Sullivan

I thought the recent article in which I was mentioned, "Appellate lawyers renew call for tentative rulings," Sept. 19, was interesting, balanced and well-written.
But I must take minor issue with the subheading describing the idea as "far-fetched," especially since one division already uses the procedure we voted for, and many justices and appellate practitioners favor it. The resolution is unlikely to be implemented by the Judicial Council anytime soon, for sure, but that doesn't make it "far-fetched."Submit your own column for publication to Diana Bosetti
