California Supreme Court Mandates Official Records for Indigent Litigants, Including Electronic Recordings

California Supreme Court Mandates Official Records for Indigent Litigants, Including Electronic Recordings

The California Supreme Court has ruled that indigent litigants who request an official record and demonstrate an inability to pay for a private court reporter must be provided one by the trial court. If a live stenographer is unavailable, an electronic recording is required. This decision, stemming from the case of Family Violence Appellate Project v. Superior Court of Contra Costa County, aims to ensure equal access to the appellate process for self-represented litigants, particularly in family law and domestic violence matters where the absence of a record previously made appeals impossible. The court also directed trial courts to be flexible in assessing a litigant's ability to pay, clarifying that no formal fee waiver application is necessary. This ruling applies across all civil proceedings, not just those involving fundamental liberty interests, and explicitly states that trial courts have no discretion to decline such requests.

California Voters to Consider Proposition 5 to Reform State's Recall System

California Voters to Consider Proposition 5 to Reform State's Recall System

California voters will decide on Proposition 5 in November, a ballot measure aimed at overhauling the state's gubernatorial recall system. The proposition seeks to amend the state Constitution to change how recall elections are conducted, specifically addressing the process of replacing an ousted governor. Currently, a recall election involves two questions: whether to remove an incumbent and who should replace them. This system allows a replacement candidate to take office with only marginal support, as seen in the 2003 recall election where 135 candidates vied to replace Governor Gray Davis. Proposition 5 proposes that if an incumbent is recalled, the lieutenant governor would serve the remainder of the term, unless the recall occurs within the first two years of a governor's term and before the filing deadline for the next statewide election. In such a scenario, a special election would be held, requiring a candidate to secure a majority vote to take office, with a runoff election if no candidate achiev...

First Circuit Court Rejects Trump Administration's Attempt to Disrupt Mail Voting

First Circuit Court Rejects Trump Administration's Attempt to Disrupt Mail Voting

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit has denied the Trump Administration's request to pause a federal court order that blocked changes to mail voting procedures by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). This decision marks another victory for a coalition of 24 attorneys general and the Governor of Pennsylvania, co-led by California Attorney General Rob Bonta. The blocked changes, mandated by President Trump's second elections-related Executive Order, would have required state and local election officials to redesign and reprint ballot envelopes, enroll millions of voters in a new USPS system, and meet burdensome requirements that could lead to the refusal of mail ballot delivery. A U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts had previously granted a preliminary injunction, which remains in effect through the upcoming November midterm elections. The Trump Administration had appealed this decision, seeking to allow the changes to take effect, but the First Circuit upheld the injunction.
