Central District of California
The Central Guide Informational Sessions – Additional Dates: Monday, October 6, 2023, and Monday, December 11, 2023
Please join us in 2023 for a one-hour ZoomGov update on new features and links in The Central Guide (TCG). For the past year, the Court and public have enjoyed using The Central Guide to access information about filing papers, attending hearings, serving documents, giving notice, and other procedures in our Court. TCG users can look up rules and links to forms and instructions that match those rules, and access related information on websites for the U.S. trustee, U.S. District Court, Bankruptcy Appellate Panel, and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Court staff worked diligently to fine-tune The Central Guide and there are many updates we will share with you during the informational session.
