The Criminal Court Services Operation provides direct support to the criminal departments in the Central District of the Los Angeles Superior Court, administrative support for various criminal justice committees and organizations, and countywide functions such as bail, exhibits, criminal appeals and special functions. This operation also analyzes pending or new legislation and monitors caseflow management.

Countywide Functions Bail

Bail is posted in criminal cases in the form of bail bonds, cash, equity in real property, bonds of the United States or personal surety. Bail may be forfeited if the defendant fails to appear when scheduled. The Bail Section is responsible for the security of bail bonds, the issuance of Notices of Forfeiture, trustee services for deeds of trust and promissory notes submitted to secure equity in real property in lieu of cash bail, and the preparation of documents to submit to the Court for Summary Judgments.

Exhibits

The Exhibits Section is responsible for the security, storage, and ultimate disposal of exhibits in Criminal and Juvenile cases. Criminal and Juvenile exhibits are disposed of by returning them to the rightful owner, selling any unclaimed valuables, transferring unclaimed cash to the County General Fund or destroying contraband and non-valuable exhibits.

Appeals

The Appeals Section prepares and transmits the record on appeal in criminal cases to the Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court. The unit is also responsible for monitoring appeals while they are pending in the higher court and taking appropriate action when an appeal is finally determined.

Criminal Courts Coordinator
