SECTIONS 71-77 - California Statutes

CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE

SECTION 71-77

71. The process of superior courts shall extend throughout the
state.

73c. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any
other law of this state, the judges of the superior court of the
county in which is located the principal office in this state of any
savings and loan association of whose business, property and assets
possession shall have been taken by the Commissioner of Financial
Institutions, may, in their discretion, whenever those judges deem it
necessary or advisable, hold hearings relating to the sale, exchange
or other disposition of any parcel of real property or any item of
personal property of the association, regardless of the location of
the property, at the county seat of any county in this state or at
the places in the county in which the principal office in this state
of the association is located at which sessions of the superior court
are held.

73d. Whenever, under Section 73c, it becomes necessary for a judge,
clerk, deputy clerk, court reporter or bailiff of or sitting in the
superior court of the county in this state in which is located the
principal office of any savings and loan association whose business,
property and assets are in the possession of the Commissioner of
Financial Institutions, to travel to another county, there
temporarily to attend hearings relating to the sale, exchange or
other disposition of real or personal property of the association,
each judge, clerk, deputy clerk, court reporter or bailiff shall be
allowed the necessary expenses in going to, returning from and
attending upon the business of the court. The expenses shall, upon
order of the court, be a charge against the funds of the association
and paid out of those funds by the Commissioner of Financial
Institutions.

73e. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, in each county
wherein the juvenile hall is not located at the county seat of the
county, a majority of the judges of the superior court in and for
such county may by an order filed with the clerk of the court direct
that a session or sessions of the superior court, while sitting for
the purpose of hearing and determining cases and proceedings arising
under Chapter 2 of Part 1 of Division 2 or Chapter 2 of Part 1 of
Division 6 or Chapter 4 of Part 4 of Division 6 of the Welfare and
Institutions Code, may be held or continued in any place in the
county in which the juvenile hall is located and thereafter such
session or sessions of the court may be held or continued in the
location designated in such order. In a county having two superior
court judges the presiding judge may make the order.

74. Adjournments from day to day, or from time to time, are to be
construed as recesses in the sessions, and shall not prevent the
Court from sitting at any time.

75. The superior court in any county may by rule provide that,
whenever all judges are absent from the county, any noncontested
matter in which no evidence is required, or which may be submitted
upon affidavits, shall be deemed submitted upon the filing with the
clerk of a statement of submission by the party or the party's
attorney or upon the date set for the hearing.

77. (a) In every county and city and county, there is an appellate
division of the superior court consisting of three judges or, when
the Chief Justice finds it necessary, four judges.
The Chief Justice shall assign judges to the appellate division
for specified terms pursuant to rules, not inconsistent with statute,
adopted by the Judicial Council to promote the independence and
quality of each appellate division. Each judge assigned to the
appellate division of a superior court shall be a judge of that
court, a judge of the superior court of another county, or a judge
retired from the superior court or a court of higher jurisdiction in
this state.
The Chief Justice shall designate one of the judges of each
appellate division as the presiding judge of the division.
(b) In each appellate division, no more than three judges shall
participate in a hearing or decision. The presiding judge of the
division shall designate the three judges who shall participate.
(c) In addition to their other duties, the judges designated as
members of the appellate division of the superior court shall serve
for the period specified in the order of designation. Whenever a
judge is designated to serve in the appellate division of the
superior court of a county other than the county in which that judge
was elected or appointed as a superior court judge, or if the judge
is retired, in a county other than the county in which the judge
resides, the judge shall receive expenses for travel, board, and
lodging. If the judge is out of the judge's county overnight or
longer, by reason of the designation, that judge shall be paid a per
diem allowance in lieu of expenses for board and lodging in the same
amounts as are payable for those purposes to justices of the Supreme
Court under the rules of the California Victim Compensation and
Government Claims Board. In addition, a retired judge shall receive
for the time so served, amounts equal to that which the judge would
have received if the judge had been assigned to the superior court of
the county.
(d) The concurrence of two judges of the appellate division of the
superior court shall be necessary to render the decision in every
case in, and to transact any other business except business that may
be done at chambers by the presiding judge of, the division. The
presiding judge shall convene the appellate division when necessary.
The presiding judge shall also supervise its business and transact
any business that may be done at chambers.
(e) The appellate division of the superior court has jurisdiction
on appeal in all cases in which an appeal may be taken to the
superior court or the appellate division of the superior court as
provided by law, except where the appeal is a retrial in the superior
court.
(f) The powers of each appellate division shall be the same as are
now or may hereafter be provided by law or rule of the Judicial
Council relating to appeals to the appellate division of the superior
courts.
(g) The Judicial Council shall promulgate rules, not inconsistent
with law, to promote the independence of, and govern the practice and
procedure and the disposition of the business of, the appellate
division.
(h) Notwithstanding subdivisions (b) and (d), appeals from
convictions of traffic infractions may be heard and decided by one
judge of the appellate division of the superior court.
