Corte Superior del condado de Mendocino

A random sample of potential jurors who had disregarded their jury summons were ordered to appear before the court to explain why they did not comply with repeated attempts to summon them for jury duty.   

The Mendocino County Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Commission (JJDPC) has been dissolved effective June 2, 2026. 

The Honorable Ann Moorman, Presiding Judge of the Civil Grand Jury Recruitment/Selection Committee has extended the deadline to submit applications to serve on the 2026/2027 Grand Jury to June 28, 2026.

One year ago on April 30, 2025, Judicial Council of California, Mendocino Superior Court and building partners Hensel Phelps, Kitchell CEM and Fentress Architects celebrated the beginning of construction of a new, state-of-the-art courthouse in Ukiah. 

The Mendocino County Superior Court welcomes photographers – professional, amateur and hobbyists – to donate their best work for possible display in the new Ukiah Courthouse, slated to open in the summer of 2027. 

On February 1, 2026, the Court will begin processing juvenile traffic and non-traffic infractions.  For many years, this work has been done by the Probation Department’s Juvenile Division, but a change in law now requires that the Court take on this workload.

The sudden retirement of Judge Clayton Brennan on October 31st has created legitimate concerns in the coastal communities about the future of the Ten Mile courthouse in Fort Bragg.

Construction of the new Mendocino County courthouse is approaching a major milestone, which will become visible to the Ukiah community in the coming weeks.
