California Courts of Appeal

From Judgepedia

The six Courts of Appeal have appellate jurisdiction when superior courts have original jurisdiction, and in certain other cases prescribed by statute. Like the California Supreme Court, they have original jurisdiction in habeas corpus, mandamus, certiorari, and prohibition proceedings.

Most of the cases that come before the Courts of Appeal involve the review of a superior court decision that is being contested by a party to the case.^[1]

Caseload

Over 22,000 appeals and original proceedings were filed in the Courts of Appeal during the 2002/03 fiscal year.^[2]
