Back to court in 4/1!

Effective August 2021, the Fourth District Court of Appeal, Division One, is restoring in-person arguments in light of updated state and local public health guidance permitting the relaxing of certain COVID-19 safety protocols. In accordance with state and local public health guidance, face coverings in the courtroom will be optional for parties who are fully vaccinated. Those who are not fully vaccinated are required to wear face coverings in the courtroom. While in-person argument will return as the default method of appearance, parties may request to appear remotely.  Until further notice, the courtroom is open only to those parties presenting oral argument.
