Q: remote appearance/cour call records are materal to an action , are these records available to the public without Subp ?

A: Under California law, remote appearance and court call records are generally considered part of the official court record. However, public access to these records may be limited and vary depending on the specific court and type of case.

To obtain the court call log, you typically have two options:

1. Request records from the court directly: Contact the clerk's office of the court where the hearing or trial took place. Inquire about their specific procedures for requesting copies of court records, including any forms to fill out and fees that may apply. Some courts may allow you to access certain records without a subpoena, while others may have more restrictive policies.

2. Subpoena the records: If the court does not provide the records upon request, or if you require a more formal process, you may need to issue a subpoena. A subpoena is a legal document that compels the court or a third party to produce specified records. To obtain a subpoena, you typically need to be a party to the case or have a legal interest in the matter. The process for issuing a subpoena varies depending on the type of case and the court involved.

It's important to note that certain records, such as those related to confidential or sealed proceedings, may not be available to the public, even with a subpoena.

For the most accurate information on obtaining court call logs and whether a subpoena is necessary, it is best to contact the specific court where the remote appearance took place or consult with a local attorney familiar with California court procedures.
