Fillable PDFJudicial Council of California
This form allows parties in a court case to ask a judge to appoint a referee—a neutral person who will hear evidence and make decisions about the case instead of the judge. Parties use this form when they agree to use a referee to resolve disputes more quickly and privately, often in civil cases involving money, property, or other non-criminal matters.
