San Francisco (Court system)

San Francisco’s court system includes trial courts handling civil and criminal cases, and appellate courts reviewing decisions for fairness. The Superior Court of California, San Francisco County, is the primary trial court, overseeing matters like family law, criminal cases, and civil disputes. Its decisions can be appealed to the California Court of Appeal, which reviews the legal correctness of lower court rulings. The system operates under California state law, ensuring justice through an organized process of hearings, evidence review, and legal interpretation, with judges and court staff facilitating fair resolution of disputes.
