Del. Sup. Ct. Int. Opp. P. VI

As amended through June 13, 2024
Rule VI - Timing Of Issuance Of Opinions To Be Courteous To Counsel And Clients

The Supreme Court realizes that its decisions are important to the parties involved and that when attorneys receive decisions, they then have a duty to forward them to their clients and to confer with their clients about the effect of the Court's resolution of the matter. Accordingly, the Supreme Court endeavors to issue its decisions at a time of day that does not impose an undue burden on counsel to have to consult with clients after normal business hours, or the hours leading to the weekend.

Thus, on Monday to Thursday, the Court will endeavor not to issue decisions in non-expedited cases after 4:30 p.m., and on Friday, after 2:00 p.m.
