The responses discussed below have occurred since September 1, 2020. A previous Insight provides information about responses that occurred in June and July of 2020. Another Insight provides information about some of the initial responses to COVID-19 by the federal judiciary. This Insight is not intended to provide a comprehensive overview of policies and practices adopted by each federal court or judicial entity in response to COVID-19. The information provided in this Insight may be superseded by new information from that which is described below. Judicial Conference of the United States The Judicial Conference of the United States is a 26-member policymaking body for the federal court system. The Conference, comprised of the Chief Justice of the United States and other federal judges, meets twice each year to consider administrative and policy issues affecting the court system, and to make recommendations to Congress concerning legislation involving the Judicial Branch. The Conference held its regularly scheduled biannual meeting by teleconference on September 15, 2020 because of travel limitations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic (the Conference also held its March 2020 session by teleconference). During its September meeting, the Conference received a report on changes to court operations in response to COVID-19. The pandemic report focused on actions taken since the Judicial Conference's last meeting in March 2020 when courts were beginning to leave courthouses and establish remote work environments.
