It's not really a fair comparison. You'd have a valid point if NMCCA were failing to transmit its decisions to appellants and their counsel, but no one is suggesting that.<BR/><BR/>Personally, I think practicioners have become somewhat spoiled with the advent of the internet. Time was when we had to wait for pocket parts to the Military Justice Reporter to arrive in the mail. These days, we have NKO, LEXIS, Westlaw, and the JAG homepage, yet people still complain when the decisions aren't immediately and simultaneously available everywhere. Heaven forbid we should have to check more than one location to verify that we have the most up-to-date case law. What did these people do in the days of Shepard's Citators?<BR/><BR/>NMCCA could do a better job of getting its opinions out, but some parts of the process are out of its control.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34853720.post-46335158751465730472008-06-10T15:21:00.000-04:002008-06-10T15:21:00.000-04:00Isn't it hypocritical for NMCCA to codemn commands...Isn't it hypocritical for NMCCA to codemn commands (and SJAs) for failure to forward a ROT to Washington, DC, in a timely manner when it can't even publish its own decisions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
