Appellate Reversal Rate Up, Time to Process Appeals Up, Per Cal. Court Stats Report Some interesting information about California appellate courts from the 2020 Court Statistics Report:
-- The rate of reversal in 2019 was up to 18% in civil cases, from 16% in 2018.
-- About 4% of appeals are dismissed. (This should make you think about appealability and timeliness issues!)
-- Last year saw the most depublished opinions in a decade. Not by a lot. But I find it noteworthy whenever the government says it does not want to hear from the public about something the government did.
-- The median number of days to process a civil appeal, from filing to opinion, has increased slightly from 577 to 589.
-- The last point is curious because there has been a slight downward trend in the number of appeals filed over recent years.
