The California Supreme Court hears appeals from all California Courts of Appeals and in special cases (like death penalty appeals) from the trial court itself.
A party seeking review must petition the court between the 31st day and the 40th day after the Court of Appeal decision is filed. (See generally Cal. Rules of Court, rule 28(b).) The Supreme Court takes very few cases, as recent statistics show.
The California Supreme Court is composed of seven members. The following justices are the current members of the California Supreme Court:
Chief Justice Ronald M.
