Prior to the hearing of a Law and Motion, Complex Civil Litigation, or a Discovery matter, the Court may issue a tentative ruling.

The tentative ruling becomes the order of the court and no hearing is held unless one of the parties contests the tentative by complying with the Rules of Court  and Local Rule 6E.

Tentative rulings for certain departments are available this website, on the pages linked below. Click on the Department number for more details. Note: the following departments are the only ones posting tentative rulings at this time.
