6 Cir. I.O.P. 1
Scope and Title
(a) Purpose. The purpose of these internal operating procedures is to provide useful
information about the court’s procedures and facilities, as distinguished from
requirements of practice and procedure. Although they include practices and procedures
that the court and practitioners generally follow, the internal operating procedures are not
rules and do not impose requirements of practice and procedure.
(b) General Content. These internal operating procedures describe the responsibilities,
functions, organization, and procedures in the day- to-day administration of the court’s
operation. They also set out the work of the judges, bench assignments, calendaring,
processing of opinions, and other operating procedures. The court may test and adopt new
procedures that may not immediately be included in the internal operating procedures.
Cite these operating procedures as 6 Cir. I.O.P. ___.
1 So in original.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
