44th Annual Statewide CASCI Conference
Founded in 1978, CASCI is a professional, non-profit association of dues-paying Superior Court Investigators. The organization was formed because court investigators in each county wanted to meet and learn from others in the same profession. Over 40 years strong, CASCI remains the primary source of probate court investigation training in California. Effective January 2008, the Judicial Council of California approved CASCI as a provider for new mandatory training requirements.
