Is Spring Street a criminal courthouse?

No. Spring Street at 312 N Spring St carries downtown civil and specialty calendars. Downtown criminal matters are heard at the Clara Shortridge Foltz Criminal Justice Center, and in-custody first appearances happen at Central Arraignment on Bauchet Street.

How is Spring Street different from Stanley Mosk?

Both are downtown civil-side buildings, but Stanley Mosk is the roughly 100-courtroom general jurisdiction giant on Hill Street, while Spring Street is a smaller building carrying specific civil and specialty assignments. The courthouse name on your notice is what decides which one you go to.

My notice says Spring Street but the case involves an arrest. Is that a mistake?

Not necessarily. Criminal and civil consequences often run in parallel — a civil claim arising from the same incident, or a specialty calendar matter — and those can be assigned downtown while the criminal case proceeds at Foltz. Check the case number and case type printed on the notice.

Can bail be posted at Spring Street Courthouse?

No. Bail bonds are posted at the facility holding the defendant, which for downtown cases is Twin Towers, Men's Central Jail, or the Inmate Reception Center on Bauchet Street — not at any courthouse counter.

I have downtown court dates in two different buildings. How do I keep them straight?

Write down the courthouse name, street address, and department number for each date separately. Spring Street (312 N Spring St), Stanley Mosk (111 N Hill St), Foltz (210 W Temple St), and Central Arraignment (429 Bauchet St) are all within a few blocks of each other and none of them will excuse an appearance made at the wrong address.

What happens if a criminal court date is missed while a civil matter is pending here?

The criminal side is what puts a bond at risk. A missed criminal appearance can trigger forfeiture and a bench warrant the same day, and there is a limited statutory window to fix it before the cosigner faces a judgment. Call us the day it happens.

Courthouse Overview

Spring Street Courthouse at 312 North Spring Street is one of the Los Angeles Superior Court's downtown facilities, sitting a few blocks from the Civic Center cluster of Stanley Mosk, the Foltz Criminal Justice Center, and Central Arraignment. It carries civil and specialty calendars rather than the county's criminal workload.

The Central District spreads its work across several buildings by function rather than by geography, and Spring Street is part of that division of labor. Where Stanley Mosk handles general jurisdiction civil, family law, and probate at enormous scale, Spring Street takes on the assignments the court routes to it — which makes the courthouse name and department number on a notice the only reliable way to know where to appear.

For anyone dealing with an arrest, the useful framing is simple: Spring Street is not where a criminal case is heard, and it is not where bail is set. Downtown criminal proceedings run through Foltz on West Temple Street, with first appearances at Central Arraignment on Bauchet Street. Spring Street becomes relevant when a civil matter runs alongside the criminal case.

Because these buildings sit within walking distance of one another, families juggling multiple downtown dates routinely end up at the wrong address. Treat each notice as its own set of directions rather than assuming "downtown court" means one place.

Hours Of Operation

Court hours and jail release timing are two different clocks. Spring Street Courthouse runs on a weekday court calendar; the jail holding your family member runs 24 hours a day.

Monday – Friday	Standard Los Angeles Superior Court public hours
Saturday & Sunday	Closed
Court Holidays	Closed
Clerk & filing windows	Weekday public hours only — confirm with the court before traveling
Midnight Bail Bonds	Open 24 hours, every day

Court hours and jail release timing are separate systems. Spring Street runs a weekday calendar; the county jail facilities holding a downtown defendant accept bail bonds every hour of every day, including weekends and holidays.

Posting bail never waits for a courthouse to open. When bail is already set at the county schedule amount, the bond is delivered to the jail holding the defendant, not to a courtroom.

Even after a bond is accepted, release is a queue. Inmate Reception Center processing downtown commonly runs several hours and stretches longer on weekends and holidays.

Department calendar call times are set department by department. The department listed on the notice governs when you actually need to be in the room.

Parking And Directions

Spring Street Courthouse sits in the middle of downtown, where parking is paid and in demand. Public transit is genuinely the easier option here.

Freeway Access

Take the 110 Freeway to the 4th Street exit, or the 101 Freeway to the Spring Street exit. Both put you within a few blocks of the courthouse, but downtown surface streets back up badly before 9 a.m.

Paid Parking Structures

Paid parking is available at the Broadway Spring Center structure and at Paragon Parking, located between the Ronald Reagan State Building and the Banco Popular Building. Both are walkable to the courthouse entrance.

Public Transit Recommended

Given downtown parking costs and limited availability, public transportation is the recommended option. Metro rail and bus lines serve the Civic Center area within a short walk of Spring Street.

Security Screening

All visitors pass through screening at the entrance. Weapons, recording devices, and cameras are prohibited without prior authorization. Add 20–30 minutes for the entry line on a busy morning calendar.

Departments & Case Types

Spring Street is a civil-side downtown courthouse. We list only what this building is confirmed to carry, and note plainly what it does not.

Civil Calendars

Downtown civil matters assigned to this building, including the litigation departments the Central District routes here rather than to Stanley Mosk.

Specialty Calendars

Specialized assignments the Central District concentrates in this courthouse instead of spreading across the general jurisdiction departments.

Filings & Case Management

Case-management conferences and procedural appearances that move a civil matter toward resolution or trial assignment.

Civil Matters Beside A Criminal Case

Where an incident produces both an arrest and a civil claim, the civil piece can land downtown while the criminal case proceeds separately at the Foltz Criminal Justice Center.

Not Heard Here

No in-custody arraignments and no criminal trials. First appearances are at Central Arraignment (429 Bauchet St); downtown criminal litigation is at Foltz (210 W Temple St).

Confirm Before You Travel

Calendar assignments within the Central District change over time. The courthouse name and department number printed on your notice always outrank any general description of the building.

How To Post Bail At Spring Street Courthouse

Bail review and reduction motions in California run under Penal Code §1270.1, and the starting figure comes from the Los Angeles Superior Court bail schedule.

Bail belongs to the criminal track, so no bail figure originates at Spring Street. For a downtown defendant, the Los Angeles County bail schedule is applied administratively at booking, and a judicial officer first reviews that figure at the arraignment calendar at Central Arraignment.

Later requests to reduce, increase, or reinstate bail are heard on the criminal case under the bail hearing rules cited above — in practice at the Foltz Criminal Justice Center for downtown matters. A civil department has no role in setting the criminal bail amount even when the facts overlap.

What a civil or specialty matter can create is a second set of deadlines running beside the criminal calendar. Missing a criminal date is what jeopardizes a posted bond, so when dates conflict, the criminal appearance is the one that cannot slip.

The bond itself is posted where the defendant is held: Twin Towers, Men's Central Jail, or the Inmate Reception Center on Bauchet Street. Give us a full legal name and date of birth and we locate the booking, quote the premium, and post 24 hours a day.

If A Court Date Here Is Missed

A missed appearance at Spring Street Courthouse can mean a forfeited bond and a bench warrant the same day. There is a statutory window to bring the defendant back before forfeiture becomes a judgment against the cosigner — call us immediately. Failure to appear bail bonds →
