I was grateful that I did not get on the jury panel for the case. I had prior commitments for the week! Free juror parking - the parking ticket is stamped for validation in the jury room. But there was no attendant at the end of the day to take the ticket. So it was still free regardless. No cafeteria on the premises but many food options around. Restrooms were clean and stocked. No photographs allowed in court of course. Jury room has basic computer equipment for temporary use if you need it. Several people brought work with them , I brought a book..

JUROR PARKING IS AT 101 Magnolia Ave. But no one tells you that. Not on the paperwork, not on the voice recording. You just have to figure that one out on your own while rushing to do your civil duty. Plus you better remember your license plate for parking. NO ONE TELLS YOU THAT EITHER. YOU'RE WELCOME. Lastly, you have to fill out the back of your jury duty paperwork. If not, they send you right to the back of the line. Time wasted - approximately 15 min. AGAIN YOU'RE WELCOME. OH AND DID I MENTION - someone hit my car too???? FML. JURY DUTY NIGHTMARE.

Not once did they make me feel like I was asking too many questions or being difficult. They were patient, kind, and genuinely helpful when I was already mentally exhausted. Shout out to the employees in Room 100, where you file paperwork. They guided me step by step and made sure I understood what I needed to do instead of just pointing and rushing me along. That alone made a huge difference. Of course no one wants to be in court, but despite feeling overwhelmed, I was able to get everything done within three days, and that's saying a lot. Also, free parking, which honestly takes a huge layer of stress off right away. Not an experience anyone looks forward to, but the staff made it manageable and human. And that matters more than people realize.

Parking is $10 flat fee and limited spaces are available. Metal screening takes place on the first floor so be prepared to leave most personal items at home. Elevators are roomy and clean but do take a bit of time. At the 6th floor for vital records there is an attendant screening people for walk-in or appointment visits and directs visitors to the appropriate line which definitely expedites the process. Aside from the ridiculous parking fee a pleasant visit given the fast service.

JURY SERVICE I hate…read morethis location, so I tried to switch my court venue for Jury Service. Unless you have to take more than three buses to get here or you have a medical excuse, forget it. On the plus side, there are fewer courtrooms here than Stanley Mosk, so you have a better chance of getting dismissed. Parking is right beneath the building. Show your jury summons, and you can park for free. There are plenty of spaces, but it is like a dungeon - dark! I found the elevator and took it to the first floor. Then, I had to get out, exit the building, and go through security. The line was short, and the process was quick. Then, I took an elevator to the 8th floor to the Jury Room. It's big and comfortable, but we aren't allowed to take photos of it. They way they handle juries is different than the last time I was here. We were told there are two groups - a morning panel and an afternoon panel. I was in the morning panel. Within 30 minutes, we were separated into two groups and sent to a department. Everything is done by number, probably to preserve anonymity, so the informative baliff had us line up in numerical order. I was number 2, so I thought I would be in and out of there promptly. Nope. Now, they interview everyone on the panel, which was about 38 people, before dismissing anyone. Once we took our assigned seats, the judge thanked us and gave us a rundown on how things were going to proceed. Then, she excused us for lunch. Unless you're a fast food junkie, pack yours! There is no cafeteria here, and the vending machines are pathetic. There was one food truck outside, and McDonald's and Subway were across the street on Washington Blvd. It's a food desert. When we returned at 1:30PM, we each had to stand up and answer a list of 11 heavy duty questions since it was a DUI case. It was fascinating and surprising to hear some of the answers. By the end of the day, everyone had responded, and we were instructed to return the next morning at 10:30AM. Beware: my courtroom, Department 75 is a meat locker, so bring a ski jacket! Plus, the air conditioner makes cringy inconsistent sounds that are annoying. The building itself is old and feels antiquated, but it gets the job done. The next day, once we were seated, the judge dismissed a number of people. I wasn't one of them. Then, the defense attorney spoke to us. She asked us all a few specific questions, and we had to respond by raising our hand, or not. Then, she asked certain people about their responses. Next, the prosecutor described his method. He, too, asked the group questions, which we replied by raising our hands, or not. Then, he asked particular people things. When that was over, the prosecutor dismissed one person. Then the defense attorney dismissed me. I had to return to the 8th floor to pick up that all-important piece of paper proving I had served for two days. All in all, employees at this courthouse were kind and helpful. Thankfully, everyone tries to make this experience as efficient as possible. Civic duty done!

Many people hate courthouses and it seems this one in particular because they associate them with…read morenegative experiences like traffic court, fines, involuntary jury duty, or the like. But it isn't the courthouse's fault! As far as courthouses go, this one is decent, even though it is getting a bit old and isn't in the best area of the city. There is ample parking in the area, and it is much cheaper than the other downtown courthouse (Stanley Mosk). The interior is clean and isn't really falling apart (yet), though it was clearly built in the 1970s or 1980s. Security to get in is typically quite efficient. Also, make sure to check the location of your courtroom - just because it says Department 65, does not mean it is on the sixth floor! That particular department is on the third floor by the way. As far as courthouses go, this place could be much worse. Four stars easily.

My review is for the Small Claims office in room 113 and the good people and staff in this office…read more THANK YOU for all the insight and help you've given me! (Thank you, Ms. Mejia, you were helpful and professional.) DO NOT call any County office and write bad reviews because you cannot get through. Take the time to go down there in person - early in the day, if possible - and conduct your business. Or make an appointment if that's possible. It's best to expect wait times and challenging ( and potentially expensive) public parking situations. Google everything before you go! The clerks in Small Claims are patient and know what they're doing. More importantly, they're there to help you, so don't act like you're the only person in the universe who is filing a claim. Sure, there can be forms on top of forms to fill out and it can feel like rocket science. They're complicated and the clerks help you through some of it, but you will still have to do the leg work. IMPORTANT TO KNOW: Customers need to expect delays and maybe even more forms to fill out, but that's the way these things go. Keep your negative comments to yourself and continue moving through the process of filing. ORGANIZE your paperwork, etc. in a folder before you go so you are prepared. DO NOT FORGET TO BRING YOUR OWN PEN. Never forget to say "thank you."

11/6/24 Errand #2, Jury Duty summons, guess what? I am San Bernardino County now, baby!…read more Thankfully I still have folks to visit in this area so it's not much of s stretch to travel. Going through security was a bit of a pain but necessary. My titanium alloy knee replacement (which I almost forgot) set it off. I inquired from the security guards where I need to settle my issue (not living on LA County) about my jury summons & was simply directed to the 3rd floor. Like a fool, I went up there thinking that it would be an easy location to find. This is the first & only time I have ever stepped foot in this courthouse. Maybe I should've been more specific with the question. After opening all the doors & be embarrassed to actually walk into a courtroom (thankfully not in session), an employee directed me to "Jury Assembly". I then spoke with Brianna & she informed me that I still need to ho online & register or simply mail the jury summons documents. My question was: does the mortgage bill qualify as proof since all the other firms outlined in the summons do not apply in my case. Answer:Yes! Yay! Parking is free. It's a great place to have served because it's NOT DTLA. Would have wanted to have served here.
