CHAPTER 5--DISTRICT COURTS
Sec. 141. Special sessions; places; notice

(June 25, 1948, ch. 646, 62 Stat. 897; Pub. L. 88-139, Sec. 1, Oct. 16,
1963, 77 Stat. 248.)
Historical and Revision Notes
Based on title 28, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Sec. 15 (Mar. 3, 1911, ch. 231,
Sec. 11, 36 Stat. 1089).
Section was rewritten to include provision that notice of special
terms should conform to rules approved by the judicial council of the
circuit, thus insuring a uniform practice among the courts for convening
special terms.
Changes of phraseology were made.
Amendments
1963--Pub. L. 88-139 substituted ``sessions'' for ``terms'' and
``session'' for ``term'' wherever appearing in text and section
catchline, and struck out ``pursuant to rules approved by the judicial
council of the circuit'' after ``court orders'' in text.
