If you have access to the internet, you can
go to the website, http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/courts/trial
(opens new window) then, under "Find a Court," click on
"California Superior Court Contact Information." That will
take you to a site that has a table, called "How to Contact the
Courts." It lists all California counties, from A-Z, and lets you
click on links to access their locations, phone numbers, and websites.
Most counties have more than one courthouse division and/or location. We have tried to list the most general number. In some cases, the person on the other end may direct your call somewhere else, or give you another number to call. You may have to call several numbers before you get the information for the court clerk that you need. |
