The page introduces the rules: “Counsel and self-represented litigants should be familiar with the California Rules of Court, especially the Appellate Rules. (See Cal. Rules of Court, rule 8.1 et seq.) The local rules below are intended to highlight the practices unique to the Second Appellate District and to emphasize portions of the Rules of Court that the court considers to be most important.” Review note: The page breaks paragraph (2) across three lines (“shall rule on the JV-570” / “within the time limit set forth in Welfare and Institutions” / “Code section 827, subdivision (a) (2) (F).”) and prints “JV574” without its hyphen - reproduced as printed.
