In an effort to increase transparency and respond to concerned lawyers, the state Superior Court will now identify the author on all of its memorandum decisions but will continue not to publish the non-precedential opinions.
President Judge Correale F. Stevens said there was a strong consensus among the court’s judges to make the change, which has been in effect since July 1. He said lawyers have a right to know who authored memos in their cases, but cautioned that such non-precedential decisions — the majority of the Superior Court’s work — are still not for citation in legal briefs.
