Fresno County Superior Courts Tentative Rulings
In state-court civil litigation cases filed in Fresno County Superior of California, courts may issue tentative rulings prior to motion hearings. A tentative ruling is a preliminary ruling that states how a court intends to rule on a motion, and courts may modify or reverse civil tentative rulings prior to issuing final rulings, hence the term “tentative.”
Tentative rulings in Fresno County Superior Court for the state of California are posted on the court's website prior to each law and motion hearing for civil cases. However, this tentative ruling information is usually taken down from the court's website after several days or weeks.
Trellis, a legal research platform, aggregates Fresno County County tentative rulings and all tentative rulings in California. This is highly valuable data that reveals how judges think on substantive legal issues. Consequently, Trellis makes the information and legal analyses contained in Fresno County County tentative rulings searchable for attorneys, parties, and the public.
