Filing Requirements

    An order granting media coverage under California Rule of Court 1.150 is required for proceedings inside or outside a courtroom, including courthouse interior spaces, entrances, and exits.

    Civil court-reporting requests must comply with California Rules of Court, Rule 2.956; Judicial Council form FW-020 may be used.

    Media coverage order

    A media coverage order is limited to the identified judge or outside location and to the requesting media agency or agencies under an approved pooling arrangement.

  • When filing the petition, the petitioner must request a status conference within 50 days of filing.
