Temporary Changes to Clerk's Office Hours
The Superior Court of California, County of San Joaquin, provides public notice, pursuant to Government Code section 68106, of temporary changes to the Clerk's Office at all courthouse locations as the Court deploys a new court‑wide case management system.
Clerk's Counter and Phone Hours
The following adjusted hours will be in effect Monday–Friday, excluding court holidays:
- June 15, 2026 – June 26, 2026: Open 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
- June 29, 2026 – August 28, 2026: Open 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
These Changes Affect All Court Locations
- Stockton Courthouse, 180 E. Weber Avenue, Stockton, CA
- Lodi Branch Courthouse
- 315 W. Elm Street, Lodi, CA
- 217 W. Elm Street (2nd Floor), Lodi, CA 95240
- Manteca Branch Courthouse, 315 E. Center Street, Manteca, CA
- Juvenile Justice Center, 535 W. Mathews Road, French Camp, CA
During this period, courtrooms will remain open at all court locations. Cases already scheduled for hearing will proceed as planned. Courtrooms will continue to conduct arraignments and preliminary examinations, handle time‑sensitive juvenile matters, and sign necessary emergency documents as required by law. Jury office hours will remain the same, and jurors should report as directed on their summons.
Document drop boxes will remain available at all branch courts for same‑day filing of documents deposited before 4:00 p.m. A self‑addressed stamped envelope must be included with all drop box submissions. Restraining orders and Emergency Order requests will continue to be available for pick‑up at 3:30 p.m. in both the Civil and Family Law Departments.
The Court finds it necessary to implement these temporary public counter‑hour modifications. Deployment of the new case management system will begin on Monday, June 22, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. All current case management systems will be unavailable during the weekend of June 20–21, 2026. Public portal access to case management systems will also be unavailable during that time.
