Courts - "Revolt Weakens Chief Judge Edith H. Jones’ Control of Fifth Circuit Law: Bankruptcy"
This is interesting. See the long story by Bill Rochelle in Bloomberg Businessweek. It begins:
Sixteen judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals in New Orleans heard reargument in a bankruptcy case and thirteen voted to reverse the original opinion handed down in September by Chief Judge Edith H. Jones, who was writing for a three-judge panel.Coupled with a ruling less than a week before where Jones had also written the original opinion, the two cases together could imply that a majority of the appeals court judges in the Fifth U.S. Circuit in New Orleans differ with the chief judge on the direction she was giving to bankruptcy law.
