Civil Tentative Rulings
A number of the judicial officers provide tentative rulings, posted on the Internet for the convenience of attorneys and parties. All Internet postings are gathered at this site and can be accessed by clicking on the name of the judicial officer. Tentative rulings are typically posted by 3 PM on the day before the scheduled hearing date.
The court has implemented policies and procedure to address the limitations and restrictions presented during the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to the fluid nature of this crisis, you are encouraged to frequently check the court’s main COVID-19 Civil website as well as the Tentative Ruling page for specific department instructions.
