Pursuant to Government Code section 68106, the Superior Court of California, County of Orange is providing a 60 day notice of the change in court location for matters heard and documents filed in civil and small claims actions filed at the West Justice Center.

In addition, documents for civil and small claims matters will no longer be accepted for filing at the West Justice Center. New civil and small claims matters impacted by this change must be filed at the court location listed below based on the city where the action arose, e.g., where the damage/accident occurred, where the agreement was signed; or where a defendant resides. If the defendant is a business, use the city where the business is located. If the action concerns real property, use the city where the real property is located.
