This article is now current through May 1, 2022
We will be updating it soon – usually every 1-2 weeks.
ALERT: Due to a hopefully temporary issue with our website, we have been unable to add new lead cases to our High Court article (we have, however, been able to update existing case entries with additional grant-and-hold cases). For a list of lead cases where the court has granted review after 12/15/2021, see CCAP's list here (link to PDF).
Meanwhile, be sure to check the California Supreme Court Docket by visiting its official web page. The Court has also made available both Published and Unpublished Opinions granted review (external links).
Cases/Issues Currently Pending:
The cases pending are grouped by topical category and subcategory, using the same topics utilized in The Search page . Their use here extends the single platform approach in that it allows the user to cross-reference briefs, recently decided cases included in the case summaries, victories, and cases currently on review in the California Supreme Court.
