Marin County Superior Court is considered medium size amongst the State of California’s 58 trail courts. 12 Judges and approximately 107 Staff. Our Court is located in the Marin County Civic Center, a facility and campus designed by famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The Administration building was opened in 1959, while the Hall of Justice, housing the Court and other criminal justice and law enforcement agencies, was completed in 1969. The Civic Center was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1991, and its unusual design makes it a destination for tourists. The Court has made great strides in the last ten years to improve access to justice for all court users and has engaged the Marin community in collaborating with the Court to achieve this goal. In concert with other local government partners, the Court is committed to collaborative courts and restorative justice programs and strategies. Programs designed to address the needs of juveniles in the criminal justice system have been a recent focus. In addition, the Court has developed numerous innovative programs to assist self-represented litigants, including specialized mediation and settlement programs, calendars tailored to issues facing family law litigants, and a well-staffed legal self-help office where individualized assistance is provided to court users. The Court has an active partnership with local bar members and legal services agencies to provide alternative dispute resolution services and assistance in civil, family law and small claims matters.
