Chief Justice of California and and Chair of the Judicial Council, Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye, has issued an updated statewide emergency order extending the initial 60-day continuance of criminal jury trials, authorized on March 23, by an additional 30 days to June 14.
The state’s courts, she wrote, “are further urged to work with justice partners to encourage and facilitate expeditious settlement, where possible, of cases pending before the court, in compliance with applicable health and safety laws, regulations, and orders, including through the use of remote technology, when appropriate.”
