 General Information about the Alpine County Superior Court

 The court is located in a remote mountain region which experiences severe winter weather resulting in hazardous driving conditions and road closure, and travel during other seasons is subject to lengthy delays due to road repair activities. The court will make accommodation for unforeseen circumstances making it unreasonably difficult to attend or timely appear for scheduled court sessions.  However, all persons with business in the court must anticipate that such conditions may impede travel and are advised to plan accordingly for appearances and the attendance of witnesses.  Consideration should be given to travel in advance of the day attendance is required; lodging is available but limited locally, and the Alpine County Chamber of Commerce may be contacted at 530-694-2475 for referral to local and regional facilities.
