1720-413: The three-justice panel serves as the acting presiding justice on the case. The First, Second, and Third Districts each have one big courtroom at their main courthouses which they share with the Supreme Court of California.

1763-418: The words "or more", the Legislature expanded the existing divisions of the First and Second Districts from three to four justices each, but chose to expand the other appellate districts by adding more justices one by one, rather than more divisions.

The state's second Constitution, enacted in 1879, halted that practice by expressly requiring the Court to issue every dispositive decision in writing "with reasons stated."

The District Courts of Appeal originally consisted of three appellate districts, headquartered in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Sacramento, with three justices each.
