Judicial Administrative Records
Public Access to Judicial Administrative Records
Effective January 1, 2010, Rule 10.500 of the California Rules of Court established comprehensive public access rules applicable to judicial administrative records maintained by state trial and appellate courts, the Judicial Council, and the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC).
This rule applies to non-adjudicative records and does not apply to court records or documents in any case filed in the Superior Court. Please contact the Clerk’s office at the division where the matter was heard to obtain copies of non-confidential case records. Please also be advised that the Court is not required to produce special reports which do not already exist or to compile data.
- Electronic access to the Court’s Civil Case Records is available online at: https://portal.sbcourts.org/CASBPORTAL/
- Electronic access to Court Calendars is available at: http://www.sbcourts.org/os/cal/
