❓ Where can I find it in California? When is my court date? ▼

To find your court date in California, check the county Superior Court where your case is pending. Three ways: (1) Online case lookup — every California Superior Court has a public case-info portal showing scheduled hearings. Start with the California Courts directory at https://www.courts.ca.gov/find-my-court.htm. LA County at https://www.lacourt.org/pages/lp/access-a-case (search by name or case number); Orange County at https://www.occourts.org; San Diego at https://www.sdcourt.ca.gov; Sacramento at https://www.saccourt.ca.gov. Each portal shows case number, parties, charges/claims, filed date, and next scheduled hearing date and courtroom. (2) Call the Clerk's office for the courthouse where your case is pending — main lines are listed in the directory. (3) Check your citation, summons, or court paperwork — the date is printed on the document. For traffic citations, many counties allow online traffic case lookup with the citation number — LA County https://www.lacourt.org/courts/traffic; San Diego, OC, Riverside, Sacramento all have similar portals. Missed your court date? Bench warrants are typically issued for failure to appear. Quash a warrant: most courts allow a Motion to Quash that re-sets a hearing date for around $32–$60 motion fee — significantly better than getting picked up at a traffic stop. Strong recommendation: if you've missed a court date or might have a warrant, retain a defense attorney before walking into a station.
