Tentative Rulings Judge Beth A. Jordan Department E
Any party who disagrees with the Court's tentative ruling and wishes to have oral argument must notify the Court at (415) 444-7046 and opposing counsel (or if the opposing party is selfrepresented, notice must be given directly to the opposing party) of their intent to appear at the hearing for oral argument by 4:00 pm on the court day before the hearing, as required by Marin County Superior Court Family Law Local Rules 7.12(B) and (C). Notice may be given by telephone or in person. Absent proper notice, no oral argument will be permitted. If no request for oral argument is made, the tentative ruling will become the order of the Court.
Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, persons who requested oral argument must appear for the hearing in person or remotely via Zoom, in accordance with the Court website guidelines. If appearing remotely via Zoom (video or telephone), you are responsible for ensuring you have adequate connectivity; the Court may proceed in a party’s absence if technical issues arise. Proper Zoom etiquette and courtroom decorum are required, and failure to comply may result in the hearing being halted and an order to appear in person being made.
Tentative Rulings for the following cases will be emailed to the parties. If you have not received the Tentative Ruling, please call (415) 444-7260 or reach out to JudicialSupport@marin.courts.ca.gov.
In addition, copies of the Tentative Rulings will be provided either electronically or in paper at the courthouse in the Clerk’s Office (Room 113), Legal Self-Help or Court Administration (Room 116).
