Every California Superior Court publishes tentative rulings — preliminary decisions a judge intends to issue before the actual hearing. They're public records, but they live scattered across dozens of court websites in inconsistent formats, often disappearing within days. There's no single place to search across them, and the existing paid legal-research tools either don't index this data at all or charge enterprise pricing for it.
Tentative rulings are unusually important indicators of how a case will be decided: judges nearly always adopt their tentative ruling as the ultimate orderissued in the case. Yet those final orders are often unavailable to the public — they're buried behind paywalls or only served electronically to the litigants themselves.
That asymmetry is what makes the tentative ruling so valuable. For practitioners trying to understand local practice and the tendencies of trial-court judges across multiple jurisdictions, the tentative ruling is often the most accessible — and sometimes the only — window into how a particular judge actually decides motions.
