The Office of the Circuit Executive’s Ninth Circuit Public Information staff handles Ninth Circuit media inquiries, promotes community outreach events, oversees the publication of the circuit's annual report and other publications, and manages various sponsored websites. It does not maintain specific case information and has no involvement with state court matters. Information is available about the judicial system in the United States and its two different court systems at Understanding Federal and State Courts. Federal case and docket information can be found at: www.pacer.uscourts.gov.

The Public Information staff does not conduct legal research, provide specific information on cases, attorney admission, prisoners, jury summonses, naturalizations, or Supreme Court information. The staff does not provide legal advice. Accordingly, the staff will not respond to any emails requesting such assistance.

Updated (Nov. 24, 2020):  We have limited staff in the courthouse due to the current public health crisis.  We are asking that you email inquiries instead of calling the court during this time.  Court staff will respond to you as soon as possible, likely within a few hours.  The email address is:  questions@ca9.uscourts.gov.  Please include your case number and a telephone number in case court staff needs to reach you.
