proceeding.
Any individual, excluding the attorneys of record and the California Appellate Project (CAP)
superior court liaison, who desires to view and/or photocopy or photograph trial exhibits from
any superior court case, must seek a court order pursuant to Local Rule 180(D).
COMPLETING THE APPLICATION

officer who presided over the trial or proceeding, or if that judicial officer is not available,
to the supervising judge of the panel and/or justice center where the trial or proceeding
was heard. The clerk will submit your application to the appropriate judicial officer for
review.
After the judicial officer makes a determination on your application, the clerk will mail a copy of
the court order to the requestor. If your application is granted, the clerk will also forward a
copy of the court order to Central Justice Center Records & Exhibits and the requestor will be
contacted by an Exhibit Custodian to set up a viewing appointment at the Central Justice
Center.
REVIEWING YOUR COURT ORDER
