—INSTRUCTIONS—
Pursuant to California Rule of Court, rule 3.403, the Court must decide as soon as reasonably practicable whether
an action is a complex case, and the Court has the continuing authority to determine that a civil action is a
complex case. When a judge to whom a case is assigned determines that the case should be designated as
“complex” within the meaning of California Rule of Court, rule 3.400, the judge may seek to transfer the case to
the Complex Litigation Program using the procedure specified in Local Rules, rule 3.3(k). This form is designated
by the Assistant Supervising Judge, Complex Litigation Courts as the Complex Civil Case Questionnaire to be
completed by the judge assigned to the case, or by a party, on order of the Court.
The purpose of this questionnaire is to help the Court identify cases appropriate for inclusion in the Complex
Litigation Program. Responses should be derived from the Court’s experience with the case since it was filed,
examination of the court case record, and information provided by parties and counsel, to the extent that
information is readily available to the individual(s) completing this questionnaire. The questionnaire and the court
case record will be reviewed by the Assistant Supervising Judge, Complex Litigation Courts. The information
provided in this questionnaire should be as thorough as possible to facilitate this review and to expedite
determination of whether the case should be included in the Program. The Assistant Supervising Judge, Complex
Litigation Courts may request a telephonic status conference with the parties to obtain additional information. The
Assistant Supervising Judge, Complex Litigation Courts may decide whether or not to accept the case for the
Complex Litigation Program with or without a hearing. If the case is not accepted for the Complex Litigation
Program, the assigned judge’s complex case designation nevertheless governs the case.
