Hiring Process | Superior Court of California | County of Alameda
Candidates who meet minimum qualifications are sent to the hiring manager for review to identify the ideal candidate to interview for the position. Depending on the position, you may be required to complete an interview, situational exercise, online exam, or a combination of assessments. In some cases, you may be required to complete an in-person test. You will be contacted with further information after we review your application.

Interview
Currently interviews are conducted in-person or virtually, depending on the hiring manager's preference. Interviews are conducted with a panel of multiple individuals. You may be required to participate in more than one round of interviews where you will speak with the hiring manager, potential colleagues and a member of division leadership. We will share the details with you in advance, so you know what to expect and how to prepare.

Job Offer
After the interviews the hiring manager decides whom to offer the job. The recruiter will reach out directly with a verbal. This is a great opportunity for you to ask any additional questions you may have before accepting the contingent offer.

Pre-Employment
After you accept the verbal offer we prepare and send an offer letter. You will need to sign in to your Workday account (the same hiring system you used to apply to the position) to review the offer letter and officially select Accept or Don't Accept. Once you accept the written offer, the Court will begin pre-employment screening.

Onboarding
Before your first day we will reach out to guide you through the onboarding process which includes required new hire tasks to ensure you have an efficient start to your employment. On your first day, you will attend New Hire Orientation with HR. Your supervisor and new team will have a plan to help welcome you into your new role, your division and the Superior Court of California, County of Alameda.

What Can I Do if the Child's Health or Safety is in Danger?

 If an emergency exists, contact 
 Child Protective Services - external link (CPS). If the child is safe, but
 you believe that irreparable harm will result if immediate action is not taken by the
 court, a temporary guardianship may be appropriate. A temporary guardianship enables a
 person to have legal guardianship of a child prior to the general guardianship hearing.
 It cannot be filed separately from a guardianship. A petition for temporary guardianship
 must be filed after the petition for general guardianship. A Petition for Appointment of a Temporary Guardian should
 include detailed information about the present danger to the child, including copies of
 any existing police reports, CPS recommendations, etc. There is a 
 filing fee for the Petition for Appointment of Temporary Guardian.

 	In order to apply for temporary guardianship, you must complete and file the following forms
 	packet:


 	Petition for Temporary Guardianship Packet


 	Present the original and two copies of the forms to the court at the 
 	Ex Parte Calendar. Before filing a petition you should review 
 	California Probate Codes 2250 through 2258 - external link so that you are aware of your responsibilities.

What Help is Available?

 	For assistance with temporary guardianship or guardianship of the estate, you may consult
 	a private attorney. The Sacramento County Bar Association operates a

READ FIRST: In any criminal case other than most infractions, where the potential for jail or prison time exists, a defendant has the right to be represented by an attorney, even if the defendant cannot afford one. In criminal infraction cases, a defendant also has the right to a lawyer if he or she is arrested and NOT released on his or her written notice to appear, on his or her own recognizance, or after a deposit of bail. The reason is that a criminal proceeding is complicated, and the consequences, besides incarceration (jail or prison time), can be severe. For example, a conviction can result in deportation for noncitizens or prevent a legal resident alien from becoming a citizen. Certain convictions can prevent persons from holding many types of jobs. Experienced criminal defense attorneys, whether they are for private hire, serve as public defenders, or are appointed by the court, know about the criminal justice system — how it works, which options are available to a defendant, and what the likely outcomes of different options are. Whenever possible, get the help of an experienced criminal defense attorney when you are charged with a crime. The information in this section is for adult criminal cases. Click if you want information because your child (under 18) was arrested. 
Criminal court is where you go when the state believes you have committed a crime and it files charges against you. Generally, the District Attorney’s Office represents the state. Each county has its own District Attorney’s Office. In some cities certain offenses are prosecuted by the city attorney instead of the district attorney.Only the government — not another person or private agency — can charge you with a criminal violation.
In criminal court, you are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Difference Between Criminal and Civil Cases

A criminal case happens when the government files a case in court to punish someone (the defendant) for committing a crime.
Designating the Record – California Appellate Courts
The main advantage of an appendix is that you do not pay the trial court clerk to prepare your documents. But there are many disadvantages. It takes a lot of time to create an appendix and it can be difficult.
What are the rules? Either side can designate an appendix. A party or their lawyer must prepare all the documents required by the Court of Appeal and prepare the documents the parties wants to include in the appendix. A party may have to pay the trial court to get copies of documents they do not already have.
A party must follow the court rules to organize the documents in order by date, and then add page numbers. They also need to create a chronological and alphabetical index (or list) of all of the documents. A party must also file the appendix with the Court of Appeal with their brief and pay to serve a copy of the index to all the other parties in the case.
If an appendix does not follow the strict formatting guidelines, the Court of Appeal will reject an appendix and return it to the party to fix. The party will then need to serve and file the corrected appendix.
If the parties file a joint appendix, they must include a stipulation designating the contents. If each party files an appendix separately, they are not required to include a stipulation designating the contents.
If an appendix is electronically filed (e-filed) with the court, a party must follow the special electronic filing rules for their Court of Appeal.
What can the respondent do? It depends on what the appellant does.

If the appellant used an appendix and the parties did not agree on the contents, then a respondent can provide a respondent’s appendix with the additional documents. The respondent uses form APP-011 to designate an appendix.
If the appellant requests a clerk’s transcript and a respondent files a designation for an appendix, then all parties must proceed with an appendix unless the appellant was granted a fee waiver for a clerk’s transcript. This is true even if the appellant chose another option first.

How much does it cost? If a joint appendix is prepared, either the appellant pays or the parties agree on how to share the cost.

There is no fee for filing the Notice of Appeal.
Ask your court clerk if your court requires you to file any other court forms or do any other steps.
After you file your Notice of Appeal, the clerk will send a copy to the prosecuting attorney in your case (like the district attorney or city attorney).

Prepare, serve, and file a brief
You will need to write, serve and file a brief by a deadline. This is the hardest part of the process. You will need to follow many rules and likely do legal research.
California Rules of Court 8.926 to 8.928 have the rules about how to prepare, who to serve, and the deadlines for filing briefs.

Get your due date for the brief
Once the appellate division receives the complete record on appeal, the court clerk will send you a notice with a deadline to file a brief. It's usually 30 days after the record is filed, but it could be different. You must write, serve, and file a brief by the deadline.

Prepare a brief
A brief is a written description of the facts in the case, the law that applies, and your arguments about the issues. Briefs are the single most important part and the hardest part of the appellate process.
Arguments in the brief explain:
The legal error the judge made
How that error changed the outcome of the case
The best briefs guide the court through the case using the record and legal authority to support your points. Writing a good brief requires specialized knowledge. 

Serve the brief
Once your brief is done, you must have it sent (served) to the prosecuting attorney.
To serve means that someone, not you, 18 or over that's not part of the case mails it to the prosecuting attorney. The person who mails it is your server. 
Have your server fill out and sign a Proof of Service (Appellate Division) (form APP-109). You can get more information on how to serve in What is Proof of Service? (form APP-109-INFO).
File the brief
File your brief with the Proof of Service by the deadline in the Notice.
Notice of Appeal – California Appellate Courts
This includes a $775 filing fee payable to the Court of Appeal and a deposit payable to the trial court for the record of the case that will be sent to the Court of Appeal.
Filing fees and deposits can be paid by check or money order. Some courts may accept cash or credit card payment.
If an appellant cannot afford to pay for fees in the trial court or Court of Appeal, it is possible to apply for fee waivers. Learn more about fee waivers
Extra Time to File Notice of Appeal

The appellant cannot ask for more time to file a notice of appeal. If it is filed late, the appeal will be dismissed.
 The time to file a notice of appeal may be extended if there is a timely motion:

for a new trial
to vacate (cancel) or set aside the judgment
for judgment notwithstanding the verdict
to reconsider an appealable order

The deadline is extended in these situations because they may result in a change to the judgment or order. The time to file a notice of appeal is extended so that the decision to appeal can be based on the court’s final ruling.
If one of these motions or requests has been filed, contact the trial court or carefully review rule 8.108 of the California Rules of Court to find out the deadline for filing a notice of appeal.
The deadline can also be extended if a public entity – like the State of California or a police department – was the defendant in the case and asks the trial court to take certain other actions.
What Happens Next
After filing a notice of appeal, the appellant usually designates the record. This is when the appellant reviews the record of what happened in the case and tells the trial court what parts of the record to send the Court of Appeal. The Court of Appeal uses the information it receives in the record on appeal to make a decision. Note that some Courts of Appeal may review the case for mediation before the appellant designates the record.
