INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLING UNLIMITED CIVIL CASES
The following critical provisions of the California Rules of Court, Title 3, Division 7, as applicable in the Superior Court, are summarized
for your assistance.
APPLICATION
The Division 7 Rules were effective January 1, 2007. They apply to all general civil cases.
PRIORITY OVER OTHER RULES
The Division 7 Rules shall have priority over all other Local Rules to the extent the others are inconsistent.
CHALLENGE TO ASSIGNED JUDGE
A challenge under Code of Civil Procedure Section 170.6 must be made within 15 days after notice of assignment for all purposes
to a judge, or if a party has not yet appeared, within 15 days of the first appearance.
TIME STANDARDS
Cases assigned to the Independent Calendaring Courts will be subject to processing under the following time standards:
COMPLAINTS
All complaints shall be served within 60 days of filing and proof of service shall be filed within 90 days.
CROSS-COMPLAINTS
Without leave of court first being obtained, no cross-complaint may be filed by any party after their answer is filed. Cross-
complaints shall be served within 30 days of the filing date and a proof of service filed within 60 days of the filing date.
STATUS CONFERENCE
A status conference will be scheduled by the assigned Independent Calendar Judge no later than 270 days after the filing of the
complaint. Counsel must be fully prepared to discuss the following issues: alternative dispute resolution, bifurcation, settlement,
trial date, and expert witnesses.
FINAL STATUS CONFERENCE
The Court will require the parties to attend a final status conference not more than 10 days before the scheduled trial date. All
parties shall have motions in limine, bifurcation motions, statements of major evidentiary issues, dispositive motions, requested
form jury instructions, special jury instructions, and special jury verdicts timely filed and served prior to the conference. These
matters may be heard and resolved at this conference. At least five days before this conference, counsel must also have exchanged
lists of exhibits and witnesses, and have submitted to the court a brief statement of the case to be read to the jury panel as required
by Chapter Three of the Los Angeles Superior Court Rules.
SANCTIONS
The court will impose appropriate sanctions for the failure or refusal to comply with Chapter Three Rules, orders made by the
Court, and time standards or deadlines established by the Court or by the Chapter Three Rules. Such sanctions may be on a party,
or if appropriate, on counsel for a party.
This is not a complete delineation of the Division 7 or Chapter Three Rules, and adherence only to the above provisions is
therefore not a guarantee against the imposition of sanctions under Trial Court Delay Reduction. Careful reading and
compliance with the actual Chapter Rules is imperative.
Class Actions
Pursuant to Local Rule 2.3, all class actions shall be filed at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse and are randomly assigned to a complex
judge at the designated complex courthouse. If the case is found not to be a class action it will be returned to an Independent
Calendar Courtroom for all purposes.
*Provisionally Complex Cases
Cases filed as provisionally complex are initially assigned to the Supervising Judge of complex litigation for determination of
complex status. If the case is deemed to be complex within the meaning of California Rules of Court 3.400 et seq., it will be
randomly assigned to a complex judge at the designated complex courthouse. If the case is found not to be complex, it will be
returned to an Independent Calendar Courtroom for all purposes.

How to Arrange Mediation in Los Angeles County
Mediation for civil cases is voluntary and parties may select any mediator they wish. Options include:
a. The Civil Mediation Vendor Resource List
If all parties in an active civil case agree to mediation, they may contact these organizations to
request a “Resource List Mediation” for mediation at reduced cost or no cost (for selected
cases).
• ADR Services, Inc. Assistant Case Manager Janet Solis, janet@adrservices.com
(213) 683-1600
• Mediation Center of Los Angeles Program Manager info@mediationLA.org
(833) 476-9145
These organizations cannot accept every case and they may decline cases at their discretion.
They may offer online mediation by video conference for cases they accept. Before contacting
these organizations, review important information and FAQs at www.lacourt.org/ADR.Res.List
NOTE: The Civil Mediation Vendor Resource List program does not accept family law, probate,
or small claims cases.
b. Los Angeles County Dispute Resolution Programs. Los Angeles County-funded agencies provide
mediation services on the day of hearings in small claims, unlawful detainer (eviction), civil
harassment, and limited civil (collections and non-collection) cases.
https://dcba.lacounty.gov/countywidedrp/
Online Dispute Resolution (ODR). Parties in small claims and unlawful detainer (eviction) cases
should carefully review the Notice and other information they may receive about (ODR)
requirements for their case. https://my.lacourt.org/odr/
c. Mediators and ADR and Bar organizations that provide mediation may be found on the internet.
3. Arbitration: Arbitration is less formal than trial, but like trial, the parties present evidence and
arguments to the person who decides the outcome. In “binding” arbitration, the arbitrator’s
decision is final; there is no right to trial. In “nonbinding” arbitration, any party can request a trial
after the arbitrator’s decision. For more information about arbitration, visit
https://www.courts.ca.gov/programs-adr.htm
4. Mandatory Settlement Conferences (MSC): MSCs are ordered by the Court and are often held close
to the trial date or on the day of trial. The parties and their attorneys meet with a judge or
settlement officer who does not make a decision but who instead assists the parties in evaluating
the strengths and weaknesses of the case and in negotiating a settlement. For information about
the Court’s MSC programs for civil cases, visit https://www.lacourt.org/division/civil/CI0047.aspx
