The
California Courts of Appeal are the
intermediate appellate courts in
California. They were established in 1905. The courts include 105 justices who serve six districts.
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]
