Prior to a Civil Law & Motion or Probate hearing, the Court may issue a tentative ruling pursuant to California Rule of Court 3.1308.  Unless a party requests to appear and notifies both the opposing party and the court, no hearing will be held, and the tentative ruling will become the order of the Court.

Currently, tentative rulings are only available for the Ukiah Probate and Law & Motion calendar heard on Fridays at 9:30am.

We recently took a survey to help evaluate the Tentative Rulings system, and the feedback was very positive.  We are making minor modifications to the system to improve access.  Please read the memorandum below for survey results and the improvements scheduled to be implemented on January 31.
