| 02/24/15 | UPDATE ON THE CaseFax (e-fax) system for Civil case filings. Effective late March or early April (Date TBD) CaseFax will no longer be used or maintained by the Superior Court of Kern County. The Court will have a new system for Civil case filings – Odyssey File & Serve (e-filing) will be available for use in the late March timeframe. See the attached CA eFiling announcement here. In preparation for use of the new site, it is recommended that all users attend a one hour on-line training session. Training sessions can be scheduled here. Kern has about 1500 current users, so early registration for a training session is recommended to reserve your seat. Become a registered user or learn more about California Odyssey File & Serve here. | | 02/18/15 | Jury Services: New!!!
- Text your badge number to (661)200-7322 and have your PIN ready to schedule a reminder text, reschedule your service, and request a work certificate. You are still responsible for appearing on time, whether or not you receive a text.
- You may request to be disqualified/excused from jury duty by clicking on Juror's Login Page.
- You can now request a reminder call. We will attempt to contact you the evening before you are to report for jury service. However, you are still responsible for appearing on time, whether or not you receive a call. When you receive your summons, please call (661)868-4700 or 800-648-8444 and follow the instructions.
| | 02/06/15 | There is another telephone scam in which residents are told by someone posing as a law enforcement warrant officer that they failed to report to jury duty and now owe a $500 bond. The caller demands immediate payment over the phone or says "they would be subject to immediate arrest." Most victims have been over the age of 50 and were asked to purchase reloadable "Green Dot" debit cards to pay the fines. | | 11/12/14 | Prop 47 Forms

Community Outreach |
|
|
|
|
The
Kern County Community Outreach effort began in 1998 with a committee
chaired by the Honorable Roger D. Randall of the Superior Court. The strategic
plan requires the development of external and internal efforts that will focus
the limited resources of the Courts on meeting their designated mission. One
ongoing project of this committee, the docent (court volunteer) program, helps
to make the courts more user friendly.
