Under the leadership of Chief Justice Patricia Guerrero, the branch pursues various programs and initiatives aimed at enhancing the quality of justice within California's courts. Through community outreach and resources such as the Self-Help Guide, the Judicial Branch actively engages with the public to foster understanding and access to legal processes.
