The Court of Appeal, Third Appellate District, located in Sacramento, California, is a historic courtroom that has recently reopened for oral arguments. They prefer in-person oral arguments but also allow remote arguments upon a showing of good cause. The court is committed to maintaining an impartial and bias-free judicial system and is represented on the Supreme Court and Appellate Court Bias Prevention Committee by Associate Justice Stacy E. Boulware Eurie.
The court has a Mediation Program aimed at facilitating efficient case management and expeditious resolution of appeals. Amendments to the Local Rule 1 governing the program have been approved, allowing an automatic stay of up to nine months for record preparation and briefing in cases referred to mediation. The court no longer requires masks following the end of the Covid-19 State of Emergency in California, but encourages their use when necessary. The court also provides an optional form for applications for extension of time in criminal cases.
