Selection method

The 1,535 judges of the California Superior Courts compete in nonpartisan races in even-numbered years. If a candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote in the June primary election, he or she is declared the winner; if no candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote, a runoff between the top two candidates is held during the November general election. [3] [4] [5] [6]

If an incumbent judge is running unopposed in an election, his or her name does not appear on the ballot. The judge is automatically re-elected following the general election. [3]

The chief judge of any given superior court is selected by peer vote of the court's members. He or she serves in that capacity for one or two years, depending on the county. [3]

Qualifications Candidates are required to have 10 years of experience as a law practitioner or as a judge of a court of record. [3]

Election rules

Primary election.

Only candidates for the superior courts compete in primary elections.

• If a superior court judge runs unopposed for re-election, his or her name does not appear on the ballot and he or she is automatically re-elected following the general election. [7] [8]
• Write-in candidates may file to run against an incumbent within 10 days after the filing deadline passes if they are able to secure enough signatures (between 100 and 600, depending on the number of registered voters in the county). In that case, the incumbent would appear on the general election ballot along with an option to vote for a write-in candidate. [8]
• In contested races, the candidate who receives a majority of all the votes in the primary wins the election. If no candidate receives a majority of the votes in the primary, the top two compete in the November general election. [9]

General election

• Superior court candidates who advance from the primary election compete in the general election.
• Superior court incumbents facing competition from write-in candidates appear on the ballot. [8] [9]

Լոս Անջելեսի Առաջին ատյանի դատարանի հանրային կայքի պաշտոնական լեզուն անգլերենն է։ Google™ Translate-ն անվճար լեզվական թարգմանչական ծառայություն է, որի միջոցով տեքստ ու կայքեր կարելի է թարգմանել զանազան լեզուներով։ Համակարգչային թարգմանությունը կայքի բնօրինակի սոսկ մոտավոր ներկայացումն է։ Թարգմանությունը չպետք է դիտվի իբրև ճշգրիտ, և երբեմն կարող է ներառել ոչ ճիշտ, կամ վիրավորական արտահայտություններ։

Լոս Անջելեսի Առաջին ատյանի դատարանը չի երաշխավորում Google™ Translate-ի, կամ մեկ այլ թարգմանչական համակարգի կողմից թարգմանված որևէ տեղեկատվության ճշգրտությունը, վստահելիությունն ու արդիականությունը։ Բացի այդ, որոշ ծրագրեր, ֆայլեր կամ պարագաներ, օրինակ՝ գրաֆիկներ, լուսանկարներ, կամ որոշ փոխադրելի փաստաթղթային ձևաչափեր (pdf), թարգմանվել չեն կարող։

Խնդրում ենք նկատի ունենալ, որ թարգմանության խնդրանք ներկայացնելիս Դուք Լոս Անջելեսի Առաջին ատյանի դատարանի կայքից դուրս կտեղափոխվեք։ Լոս Անջելեսի Առաջին ատյանի դատարանը չի քաջալերում Google™ Translate-ի օգտագործումը։ Մեր կայքը կարելի է դիտել այլ թարգմանչական ծառայություններով ևս։ Ցանկացած անձ, կամ կազմակերպություն, ով հենվում է որևէ թարգմանչական համակարգից ստացված որևէ տեղեկատվության վրա, այդպես է վարվում սեփական ռիսկի հաշվին։ Թարգմանության ավարտին, Դուք հանձն եք առնում ցանկացած անճշտության, սխալի, կամ հայտնաբերված այլ խնդրի ռիսկը։ Լոս Անջելեսի Առաջին ատյանի դատարանը պատասխանատու չէ որևէ այնպիսի վնասի կամ խնդրի համար, որը թերևս կարող է առաջանալ Google™ Translate-ի, կամ թարգմանչական մեկ այլ համակարգի օգտագործման արդյունքում։

Եթե Google™ Translate-ի վերաբերյալ որևէ հարց ունեք, ապա խնդրում ենք սեղմել հետևյալ հղումը․ Google™ Translate FAQs .
