Prior to the scheduled 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 8E.

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

Tentative rulings will be accessible on the Department pages linked below, after 2:00 p.m. on the court day preceding the scheduled hearing.
