Court Administration

As provided by the California Constitution, judges are initially appointed by the Governor to serve on the Superior Court bench. At the end of each judge’s six-year term, they stand for election in countywide elections. Court commissioners and referees are subordinate judicial officers appointed by the judges of the Superior Court.

Below is a list of judicial administrative assignments. These duties are carried out in addition to each judicial officer’s general calendar assignment.
