The Tracker is a unique tool
that helps you to identify and follow cases that are pending in the California
Supreme Court. Its niche is that
twilight zone between tiers of appellate review, where a Supreme Court case
works it way through the process of briefing, argument and decision.
During this critical time period, it is not easy to find out if there is
a pending case on a particular issue or in a particular practice area.
Thus, as a service to our clients and friends, the Appellate Practice
Group at Morris Polich & Purdy LLP charts the Court’s grants of review and
briefing developments in cases that are relevant to our civil practice.

These are the areas we
track: Attorney-Client; Civil
Litigation & Commercial Law; Construction & Design; Employment; Insurance; and
Products/Environmental. Within each
area, the Tracker is broken down into three columns.
●
The “Issues” column begins
with key words, followed by a description of the case taken from the Court’s
weekly summary of accepted cases.
●
The “Status” column reports
on where the case is procedurally.
Procedural posture is reported in the following order: (1) granted review and
opening brief due date; (2) argued and waiting for opinion; (3) set for
argument; (4) fully briefed and waiting for argument; (5) in briefing; (6)
decided.
●
The “Case Information”
column contains the case name, supreme court number, and a link to the Court of
Appeal opinion being reviewed.
The Tracker is updated
regularly after the results of the Court’s weekly conference are posted.
Only lead cases are shown.
Thus, cases on grant and hold pending a decision in the lead case are not
included.
