California. Superior Court (Los Angeles County)
Variant namesBiographical notes:
The California Judiciary Act of 1851established a court system that consisted of District, County, and Justice of the Peace courts. Los Angeles was a part of a district that also included San Bernardino and San Diego Counties. District courts had jurisdiction in civil cases where the disputed value exceed two hundred dollars, criminal cases, and probate disputes. The State Constitution (1879) replaced the district system with Supreme Court, District Courts of Appeal, and Superior Courts established for each county in the state. Justices of the peace and county justices served in different city and county courts, including Justices courts and county courts.
