SCOCAblog, the online publication of the California Constitution Center at Berkeley Law and of the UC Law Journal, takes a detailed look at the California Supreme Court in 2024.
The blog summarizes, “What’s new is that this year we see increased productivity, lower unanimity, and an emerging 5–2 voting pattern in dissents and separate statements to denials of review developing with two justices (Liu and Evans) appointed by different Democratic governors. These developments combine to further refute the groupthink critique others have advanced, and overall the metrics we track suggest that 2022–23 were transitional years with 2024 marking the start of something new.”
