The Judicial Council of California, chaired by the Chief Justice of California, is the chief policy making agency of the California judicial system. The California Constitution directs the council to improve the administration of justice by surveying judicial business, recommending improvements to the courts, and making recommendations annually to the Governor and the Legislature. The council also adopts rules for court administration, practice, and procedure, and performs other functions prescribed by law. The Judicial Council of California is the staff agency for the council and assists both the council and its chair in performing their duties.

The Courts of Appeal were established in 1904 and are California’s intermediate courts of review. The primary function of the Courts of Appeal is to ensure that law is interpreted and applied correctly. The Courts of Appeal decide questions of law, such as whether the superior court judge applied the law correctly in a case. The Courts of Appeal do not hear testimony or retry cases. An appeal from a superior court judgment is decided based on the record from the original trial or proceeding. Learn More.

The Courts of Appeal seek to develop and deploy an interactive online self-help center to educate users about how the appeals process works, offer fillable forms and templates, and ultimately provide users the ability to submit completed documents via the Courts of Appeal e-filing solution (TrueFiling EFS).

The intended audiences include attorneys, self-represented litigants, legal specialists (law students, paralegals), researchers, and educators. As envisioned, this new interactive website will clearly explain the necessary steps, requirements, and legal forms to successfully appeal a case. The website must strive to demystify litigant responsibilities and provide step-by-step instructions for all necessary filing processes.
