Eh! I have nothing against the Superior Court of California-Sutter. All Court Employees have been…read moresuper professional and the latrines are surprisingly clean and fully stock of toilet paper. It's just that going to court gives me anxiety as the reason why I deducted 1 star, LOL! But I do know we have them for a reason. As their mission states, "To resolve disputes assuring that individuals are not deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law or denied equal protection of the law." (Superior Court of Sutter). Sometimes you win a dispute/case and not pay anything and win your freedom or anxiety of owing a fine/bill, sometimes you lose a dispute/case then pay the fine, and sometimes you are summoned for jury duty just to watch the trial. The trial may not be Judge Judy like trial where there's some humor into the case, but the judge does show some slight humor in regards of tying the case back to the Law if found guilty. As the judge will not show favorites between the defendant and the prosecutor. Tips to win a case: 1. Provide important key evidence! Such as photos, videos, documents, and/or witnesses to make your dispute much stronger to win a case to prove yourself innocent. 2. Hire the best lawyer. (optional). 3. Be confident and have good body language. Speak professionally (avoid curse languages). 4. Treat all court employees nicely (never show aggression). 5. Be prepared to share your story in a clear concise manner, provide timelines if possible and stick to it if you'll be summoned again. 6. Stay kind and calm at all times. 7. Attend your trial if you can make it. If you can't make it (re-schedule in a timely manner preferably 2-3wks in advance prior to your trial date). Tips to lose a case: 1. Don't be over confident or too cocky. 2. Steps from 1-7 from "Tips to win a case", just exactly the opposite. LOL! Important note: Attend your jury duty if you've been summoned! It's part of being the world's greatest American Citizen aka You to partake. Plus who knows, you can sorta mentally prepare down the future if you were to be in the same situation as the defendant on how to win/lose a case if you were to be in their shoes. Namm sayinn..

My friend and I were strolling around Old Town Auburn when we saw this very grand building on top…read moreof the hill. We both wondered if that's their City Hall... Convinced that it probably is (it's not), we decided to hike up the hill to take a closer look only to realize as we hiked up that it was a lot farther away. Also we were surprised at the very steep hills here. So we made the decision to walk back down toward the center of Old Town and drove the parked car up to what we now realized is the Historic Courthouse. Built in 1898, it is now also the site of the current Placer County Superior Court (2nd floor) and The Placer County Museum which is located on the 1st floor. Of note, there's a Placer County women's jail (exhibit) which is a makeshift cell underneath the north staircase that was put here in 1905 due to it being too expensive to house women prisoners in local hotels and too dangerous to house them with men in the main jail. Located on Maple Street and Union Street.

They also have a historical small jail room that was built especially for women because prior to that they could not intermingle men and women in the same jail cells so they would put them up in a hotel room prior to this jail, self being built. The grounds are very well kept and there are plenty of photo ops.

He was cocky which made him look like a fool because I was right and he was wrong. So I get to the counter to pay my $25 ticket and I asked the clerk about my ticket.

As a result I have suffered severe health issues from prolonged trials, that turned into lifelong conditions after and forevermore linked to the trauma of continuous injustices. Unfortunately the judicial system is severely broken and corrupt. Expecting the oath you swear upon in the courtroom to be honored by all is delusional. Please understand that your situation may become worse than it already is by going to court, placing your debt and stress at an all time high, as well as remove precious years from your life. Within these walls ethical misconduct runs rapid like water, ruled by actors with a love for money, power, and popularity. Of course there is a handful of people whom to trust, who are not deceptive and possess integrity with pure motives. These humans work endlessly to serve clients compassionately and appropriately. If you must have dealings here, actively pursue the few rare gems for services, assistance and hire. From my experience, to your benefit, and the reasons listed above I strongly suggest: 5 Stars: Judge Molly Bigelow 0 Stars: Judge Gary Gibson 0 Stars: Attorneys: Kinney & Kinney (Van and Chase) Andreas A.

This is for the uninitiated. Hopefully, those reading this review never gets the experience of…read morehaving to visit this center. Except maybe for the mandated jury duty that is. We were here for a traffic violation of the texting variety. Parking was packed even before 9 on a Monday. Got through to security and proceeded to get our service wait tickets via an e-kiosk. It took about 10 minutes before we were registered and told to go to room 30 where the traffic violations were being heard. Upon entering this courtroom, the judge was hearing testimony from a police officer while the "violating" party sat in the table a few chairs from him. Mikes were sensitive enough for testimonies to be heard inside. I figured that those who contested their citations went first as the arresting officer were present during the hearing. This went on for some time, and a 15-minute recess ended the scheduled disputes. It went like a breeze after that as those with petty traffic citations were summoned in batches of three's. I sat with my teen during the proceeding and the judge was thankful for my presence. We luckily got off a forgiveness as this first-time violator was a minor. We spent a total of 2 hrs and 30 minutes overall. Not quite what I planned for a Monday morning, but I'm sure glad it got the result it did.

I have never stepped foot inside the Nevada County Court House. Never had a need to do so. But I…read morewas driving on Broad Street in Nevada City and the building, a street away in Church Street, caught my attention. Tall building, one of the tallest in the downtown area, painted white. It had an art deco design, very cool vintage version. Clean geometric lines and soft angular corners. It even had art deco lettering and of course a clock on the front facade. So my review is more from the perspective of a tourist, history buff, and amateur admirer of architecture. The first court house was built on Broad Street in 1851. It was a wood structure along with the log cabin jail. In 1856, the court house moved to its present day location. In the years ensuing, it has burnt down several times but always rebuilt. In 1900, it went through an extensive remodeling and updating. But in 1937, the renovations for its present day architectural presence occurred. The commissioned architects was George Sellon. Sellon was a noted architect of his time. He was the first California State Architect 1907. This position was created by the Governor after the devastating 1906 San Francisco earthquakes and fire. He resigned the post after two years due to Legislation preventing him from working on his own private projects. His work is listed under many historical registries. His Sacramento based private architectural business continues today as Lionakas. I drive by the present day Lionakas office and never put the history together until now just by a happen chance lazy weekend excursion to Nevada City. Luv the rich history of our local gold mine counties.

1. Judge Timothy Fall made several erroneous rulings that greatly prejudiced Ms. Zhou, such as…read morefailing to amend the minute order, hastily dismissing the opponent with prejudice at an unwarranted ex parte hearing without considering the timely filed first amended complaint, and denying Ms. Zhou the opportunity to reverse these incorrect rulings through an ex parte hearing before another judge. 2. Judge Samuel McAdams unjustly thwarted the reversal of Judge Fall's erroneous rulings by staying Ms. Zhou's "motion to vacate" for 87 days without a valid reason, resulting in the motion being excluded from the mandatory 75-day ruling window. 3. Judge Stephen Mock, without considering the merits of the case or the pending motions, unjustly ordered Ms. Zhou to pay $45,000 in attorney's fees within 2 months, disregarding the fact that the defendant cited an outdated agreement to obtain the fees. Judge Mock then disqualified himself pursuant to CCP section 170.1 after refusing to allow the first amended complaint to stand. 4. When Ms. Zhou challenged Judge Mock's unjust attorney's fee ruling, Judge McAdams disregarded the case's merits and stayed the case "for all purposes," halting the proceedings against all other defendants. Video evidence shows Judge McAdams improperly removing Ms. Zhou from the Zoom hearing when she raised the issue of the defendants citing an outdated agreement to obtain attorney's fees, but he denied this occurrence when he disqualified himself using the excuse of making the recusal decision after the ruling window closed. It appears that delaying hearings and using the "ruling window" as an excuse to avoid facing the real issues is a common loophole exploited by some individuals within the legal system. 5. The defendant filed a frivolous complaint based on a concocted lie that could not sustain a demurrer. However, Judge Maguire stayed the demurrer motion to await the appeal result, citing the norm that demurrers are generally overruled. In fact, frivolous complaints cannot sustain a demurrer, but Judge Maguire refused to read and rule on Ms. Zhou's motion. When Ms.Zhou filed a motion to lift the stay, Judge Maguire acknowledged the complaint was unrelated to the appeal but nonetheless refused to rule on the demurrer. 6. The Yolo Superior Court clerk incorrectly invalidated Ms. Zhou's fee waiver, using an "automatic invalidation" rule. When Ms. Zhou searched online and challenged which rule they followed to invalidate the fee waiver, the court stated that it was an old rule, which had been outdated by a new rule about 1-2 years ago. However, the rule governing fee waivers, Cal. Gov. Code § 68639, has been in effect since 2009 and has never been outdated or updated. When questioned about the exact code of the rule that had expired and that the court used to invalidate Ms. Zhou's fee waiver, the court refused to provide an answer, citing "privacy issues." This demonstrates a clear misapplication of the law by the court clerk and a lack of transparency in the court's decision-making process. 7. Billionaire defendants' attorney, Ravinder Mehta, argued in the respondent's brief that the self-represented plaintiff should be treated as if represented by an attorney. However, Ms.Zhou was not afforded the same opportunities as attorneys to correct errors and faced numerous instances of unfair treatment.
