Attorney Barry P. Goldberg’s article on the significant changes that came to California courts earlier this summer was featured in Valley Lawyer Magazine. Barry writes that “effective July 1, 2016 mandatory one day jury trials have come to limited jurisdiction courts in California, with few lawyers considering the ramifications and even fewer preparing for the new law. Since a large portion of automobile accident cases fall within the limited jurisdiction court’s ceiling of $25,000, it is likely that the new one day trials will largely impact personal injury law firms and insurance defense counsel.”
