superiorcourtregister.lacba.orgSearchable Civil Register

Our Purpose The Los Angeles County Bar Association makes this searchable database available free to its members who are sole practitioners and to firms in which all lawyers are members. Our primary purpose is to assist members in providing effective representation to their clients. We believe lawyers will find this database most useful for obtaining a variety of types of information about bench officers. By using this site, however, members can also obtain some limited information about specific mediators, arbitrators, referees, law firms and parties. What is the Civil Register? This database is derived from the Los Angeles Superior Court Civil Register and contains data from 1997 to the present. The Register includes information about general and limited jurisdiction civil cases from all districts, except cases filed in Van Nuys (general jurisdiction) before January 8, 2001. For each case filed, the Superior Court enters a brief description of all documents filed as well as decisions made and proceedings conducted by the Court. The Register also contains a description of the type of case as well as a list of the parties, law firms, referees, mediators, and arbitrators used. Information about how a judge rules on challenges, demurrers and motions is entered as well as the number of trial days. The verdict or judgment is generally not described. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS DATABASE OMITS CERTAIN CASES. It does not include the following: (1) Cases filed in Van Nuys (general jurisdiction) before January 8, 2001 and (2) certain limited jurisdiction cases with case numbers that begin with numerals. (Example: 05C11111) These limited jurisdiction cases can be accessed if you have the case number, but will not appear in any other search results, i.e. party names, etc. This Site Unlike the on-line Superior Court Register maintained by the Court which is only searchable by case number, this site is searchable by any criteria. By using this site, one can obtain information about the number of peremptory challenges filed against a judge, the number of days the judge spent in trial and information about how the judge ruled on particular types of motions over a given period of time. The documents themselves are not available on-line and are only available from the Court or the attorneys who prepared them.
