Serving a county of over 3 million residents, the Orange County California Court system handles DUI, criminal, traffic, and civil matters. Civil matters can include issues like restraining orders and family law issues, as well as more traditional civil suits for money damages based on personal injury or contract disputes. Although dwarfed by the LA County system, Orange County operates the 3rd largest trial court in the State of California.
Cases in Orange County Courts are all heard in one of the 6 Orange County Courthouses. In Orange County the courthouses are often referred to as “justice centers”
