AI-generated plain-language summary

This 1984 California ballot measure amended the state constitution to give the Supreme Court discretionary jurisdiction over most appeals, allowing it to choose which cases to review rather than being required to hear all appeals. It also transferred certain types of cases from the Supreme Court to the Courts of Appeal to reduce the Supreme Court's mandatory caseload.
