Q: Where do I find the rules pertaining to orders given with a stamp of the judge's name instead of the judge's signature?
Are those that apply to the court's use of whiteout to alter stamped dates in the same place?
A:
To find the rules regarding orders given with a stamp of the judge's name instead of a signature, you'll want to refer to the California Rules of Court. These rules govern court procedures and practices across the state, including the use of stamps in place of signatures. The specific rules you're looking for might be found in sections that cover court orders, judgments, or electronic filings.
For concerns about the court's use of whiteout or altering stamped dates, you'll need to look into both the California Rules of Court and any local court rules that apply. These documents often include provisions on how documents should be handled and modified to ensure integrity and legality.
To access these rules, you can visit the California Courts' official website or contact the court clerk's office in your jurisdiction for guidance on where these specific rules are outlined.
