The Non-Traditional Legal Careers Report
Volume 8 Issue 19 December 1, 2008
We are coming to the Holiday season and with it our annual break for The Non-Traditional Legal Careers report. We will resume after the holidays with our first new edition coming the week of January 15, 2009.
After the break we will be making some changes in the way we deliver The Report. We will be phasing out the shipment of hard copy editions in favor of a printable Word document available on the Web. This will enable us to unify our pricing structure at $240 per year for all subscribers. It will also enable hard copy customers to print multiple copies for students or alumni who want their own. We also will be making changes to the front page of the website to provide more current sample issues and make the archives of past editions more usable for subscribers.
We hope you have a joyous holiday season and be sure to think of those who in these troubled times are less fortunate or are serving our country abroad.

ATTN: Human Resources/Colusa CEO
Assistant Clerk/Administrator-Sacramento, CA
THE COURTS OF APPEAL AND THE THIRD APPELLATE DISTRICT
The Courts of Appeal were established by constitutional amendment in 1904. They are California’s intermediate courts of review and have jurisdiction when superior courts have jurisdiction and in certain other cases prescribed by statute. They exercise mandatory review of any appealable order or judgment from a superior court, except in cases in which the death penalty is imposed, over which the Supreme Court exercises original mandatory jurisdiction.
The Constitution grants the legislature the authority to divide the State into districts each containing a court of appeal with one or more divisions. California has six appellate districts each organized into at least one division. Each division is headed by a presiding justice and has two or more associate justices. Justices are appointed by the Governor after review by the Commission on Judicial Nominations
Located in Sacramento, the Third Appellate District is one of the three original courts of appeal established by constitutional amendment in 1904. Its jurisdiction stretches over 23 counties: Alpine, Amador, Butte, Calaveras, Colusa, El Dorado, Glenn, Lassen, Modoc, Mono, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Sacramento, San Joaquin, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou, Sutter, Tehama, Trinity, Yolo, and Yuba. The geographical area of the District is larger than the combined area of Connecticut, Delaware, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont.
For the first 26 years of its existence, the Court was housed in the State Capitol Building. Then in 1929, the Court moved to the newly completed Library and Courts Building located at 914 Capitol Mall, directly across the street from the Capitol. That majestic building is a registered federal and state landmark and contains the oldest appellate courtroom currently in use in the State. In 1994, the Clerk’s Office and support staff moved into the Library and Courts II Building, located at 900 N Street.
During its history, four of the court’s justices have gone on to serve as justices of the state Supreme Court. Two of its justices were distinguished veterans of the Civil War; and one of its justices was the first female to serve as an appellate court justice in California. There are currently 11 justices in the Third Appellate District.
In early 2009, the entire court will temporarily relocate to a nearby office building during the renovation of the historic Library and Courts Building. This infrastructure project will take approximately 26 months to complete at which time the court will return to its current facility.
