Celebrating the Historic Return of California Supreme Court Oral Arguments to Monterey County

On Wednesday, October 8, 2025, the California Supreme Court convened in Monterey’s Colton Hall for a special session of oral argument, marking a historic return to the birthplace of the California Constitution and the Court’s first appearance in Monterey in nearly 50 years.

The session was part of the California Supreme Court’s outreach program. Local students, educators, and community members filled the historic venue to witness the state’s highest court in action.

The Superior Court of California for the County of Monterey, led by Presiding Judge Carrie Panetta, is honored to have had the opportunity to be an integral part of bringing this amazing event to fruition.
