Criminal

The Criminal Division handles cases the state brings against a person for breaking the law. Criminal charges are filed by the District Attorney, law enforcement agencies, and/or local agencies, as Infractions, Misdemeanors or Felonies.

The Uniform Bail & Penalty Schedule, the Felony Bail Schedule, and the Misdemeanor Bail Schedule can be viewed on our Fee Schedule page.

Forms can be found and printed from the California Judicial Council website, and our local court forms.
