Jameson v. Desta, No. S230899 (Cal. Jul. 5, 2018).
The Court of Appeal decision in this case bothered me so much that I contacted the plaintiff and offered to represent him pro bono. We got review granted back in 2016. Today, the Court held in our favor in a 7-0 opinion by the Chief Justice. The short and slightly oversimplified of it is that the right to equal access to the courts requires state courts to provide indigent litigants with an official court reporter to transcribe their trials. But you should read it for yourself. There’s a lot of other good stuff in there too.
Court of Appeal reversed.
