The following observations are intended to encourage you to read the decisions of the Judicial Council for yourself. These blog posts are in no way church law in any form but could help you understand some important aspects of the decisions. Should you feel I have made an error of fact or interpretation, please let me know (email at aj_eckert@hotmail.com) so it can be corrected.
I've included the URL for each of the rulings. That should allow you to click it or paste it so you can go directly to the decision. I’ve added subject titles and have put in labels that can be picked up by search engines.
Each decision’s commentary is posted separately so this review doesn't seem so long! And by using the list of contents in the left margin, you can go to whichever decision is of interest to you.
Associates in Advocacy publishes updated indexes of all Judicial Council decisions and memoranda. If you are interested, contact Rev. Michael Brown, 158 Saxony Ct.,
Vallejo, CA 94591. The Judicial Council website also offers indices as does the AIA website (www.aiateam.org) under “HELPS for the Judicial Council.”
The Judicial Council will be often referred to as “the Council.”
Decisions of the Council may be referred to as JCDs (Judicial Council Decisions) or JCMs. Judicial Council Memorandums do not provide decisions of law but everything else from refusing to take jurisdiction to remanding to showing a question is not legally appropriate under Council rules.

I make reference to the style matter of capitalization in one of the posts. My own is not always consistent, just as the Discipline is not always consistent either. An agency name is always capitalized as are the titles and names of people when the title is part of the name. When the mood hits me, I occasionally capitalize a key concept. If I challenge someone else’s style, then I want you to know the grounds for challenging mine. And no, I do not believe the term “bishop” should be capitalized unless it is the title of a particular bishop whom I am naming. I do capitalize “Pope” because that title is unique to one individual so I handle that as I would a personal name.
