Findings

Worth a look Gifts

Lists $3,685 in gifts from Trial Lawyers in Mass Torts in 2025; the limit from one source is $560

The statement lists 3 gift(s) from Trial Lawyers in Mass Torts dated in 2025, totalling $3,685. Judges may not accept gifts from one source worth more than $560 a year (Code of Civil Procedure 170.9).

What to check

Whether part of it was returned, or paid back, in time to not count (the filer's comments often say).
Whether the gifts are from one source (a couple is two sources) or are of a kind the limit doesn't cover (family, wedding gifts and the like).
The FPPC's gift fact sheet and Regulation 18940.2 for the exceptions.

Rule: Gifts from one source over the yearly limit

“The gift limit increased to $630 for calendar years 2025 and 2026. The gift limit in calendar year 2024 was $590.”Form 700 (2025/2026), What's New ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works
