Existing law establishes in the judicial branch of state government the California Habeas Corpus Resource Center and specifies the powers and duties of the center, including the authority to employ up to 34 attorneys who may be appointed by the Supreme Court to represent any person convicted and sentenced to death in this state who is without counsel and determined to be indigent, for the purpose of instituting and prosecuting postconviction actions, challenging the legality of the judgment or sentence, and preparing petitions for executive clemency. This bill would require the Supreme Court to develop necessary rules and procedures for initiating habeas corpus proceedings in the superior court, as specified.
