Supreme Court of California

The Supreme Court of California is the highest court of the State of California, and the judiciary's own website heads its home page The State's Highest Court. The court's official about page states that it was established in 1849. It is led by the Chief Justice of California, and the page names Patricia Guerrero as the twenty-ninth person to hold that office. The court has its headquarters in San Francisco and also has court locations in Sacramento and Los Angeles, and it hears oral arguments in San Francisco and in other cities of the state. Its website publishes the court's opinions, case information and live and archived oral arguments. This entry concerns the state court and is distinct from the generic idea of a supreme court and from the United States Supreme Court.
