Courthouse Overview

The Riverside Hall of Justice sits at 4100 Main Street in the downtown civic center. The Superior Court of California, County of Riverside lists exactly one category of matters served at this location: criminal. That single fact is the most useful thing a family can know about this building. If a loved one has been arrested in the western part of the county, this is where the case is heard.

Criminal here means the whole criminal calendar, not a narrow slice of it. Misdemeanor and felony arraignments, bail review and reduction motions, preliminary hearings that decide whether a felony proceeds, pretrial motions, and jury trials all run out of this building.

The Hall of Justice is routinely confused with the Riverside Historic Courthouse one block away at 4050 Main Street. They are different buildings with different calendars. The Historic Courthouse — the 1903 Beaux-Arts landmark — is listed by the court for civil and probate matters. Nobody is arraigned there. Our Historic Courthouse page explains that split in full.

Most cases heard here begin a few blocks away at the Robert Presley Detention Center, the county's downtown intake facility, or at the Riverside Police Department's own detention center before a county transfer. Our Riverside city page walks through which of those two a specific arrest lands in.

Hours Of Operation

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

Clerk's office phone hours7:30 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., Monday – Friday
Weekends & court holidaysClosed
Midnight Bail BondsOpen 24 hours, 7 days a week

The Riverside Superior Court publishes limited clerk phone hours of 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, at its courthouse locations and warns that wait times on the (951) 777-3147 line can be long. Verify a specific courtroom's calendar time on the notice you were given rather than by phone.

Court hours are not release hours. A jail releases around the clock once a bond is accepted and the facility finishes processing. A defendant whose bond posts at 2:00 a.m. does not wait for the courthouse to open — they simply appear on the date printed on their paperwork.

Departments & Case Types

The court lists this location as serving criminal matters. Within that, the calendars break down roughly as follows. Always follow the department number printed on your own paperwork.

01

Misdemeanor Arraignments

First appearance on a misdemeanor. The charge is read, a plea is entered, and the judge reviews custody status and bail. In-custody misdemeanor defendants are typically arraigned within two court days of booking.

02

Felony Arraignments

First appearance on a felony filing. Bail set from the county schedule at booking is reviewed here, and counsel can bring a reduction motion at or after this hearing.

03

Preliminary Hearings

The hearing that decides whether a felony has enough evidence to proceed to trial. This is one of the highest-stakes dates on a felony calendar and one of the most common dates to miss.

04

Pretrial & Motions

Suppression motions, bail review under Penal Code §1270.1, discovery disputes, and negotiated dispositions. Most felony cases resolve on this calendar rather than at trial.

05

Criminal Jury Trials

Misdemeanor and felony trials for the western county are tried in this building. Trial dates carry the strictest appearance expectations of any date on the calendar.

06

Not Heard Here

Civil, probate, and small claims matters are not on this building's calendar — those go to the Historic Courthouse at 4050 Main Street. Family law is handled at the separate Riverside family law location on Main Street.

How To Post Bail At Hall Of Justice

Bail review and reduction motions in California run under Penal Code §1270.1, and the starting figure comes from the Riverside County Felony and Misdemeanor Bail Schedule (effective October 20, 2025).

Bail is never posted at the courthouse. It is posted at the facility holding the defendant. For a case calendared at the Hall of Justice, that is normally the Robert Presley Detention Center at 4000 Orange Street, a short walk from the courthouse, or a city jail such as the Riverside Police Department detention center before the county transfer happens.

The starting figure comes from the county-wide Riverside Felony and Misdemeanor Bail Schedule, not from anything specific to this courthouse. A charge carries the same schedule number whether the arrest happened in Riverside, Corona, or Moreno Valley — what changes is the facility and the timeline.

We take the application by phone, confirm where the defendant is actually held, and send an agent to that facility. Premium is the statutory 10%, with 1% down on approved credit. Nothing in that process requires anyone to drive to 4100 Main Street.

If bail was set high at booking, counsel can ask this court to reduce it. That motion is heard here, and the judge weighs public safety and the likelihood of appearance. A bond already posted is not wasted if bail is later reduced — call us and we will explain what carries over.

2025 Release Categories

Riverside County's bail schedule effective October 20, 2025 sorts charges into Cite and Release, Book and Release, Pre-Arraignment Review, and standard scheduled bail. Cite and Release and Book and Release charges are released on a signed promise to appear with no money bail, and Pre-Arraignment Review remains a separate track the court lists as pending implementation. Those defendants still receive a date at this courthouse — they simply are not in custody waiting on a bond. Full explanation on the Riverside County hub.

Every bond we write is issued by a California Department of Insurance licensed bail agent under Cal. Ins. Code §1800, at the statutory 10% premium.

If A Court Date Here Is Missed

A missed appearance at Riverside Hall of Justice 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 →

Nearby Jails & Detention Centers

Where the people appearing in this building are actually held. Confirm custody location before anyone drives anywhere — a downtown Riverside arrest can sit at a city facility for hours before the county transfer.

Robert Presley Detention Center

4000 Orange St, Riverside, CA 92501

The county's downtown Riverside intake facility and the primary source of the in-custody defendants on this courthouse's calendar. It is a few blocks from 4100 Main Street.

Riverside Police Department Detention Center

4102 Orange St, Riverside, CA 92501

The city's own facility. City arrests are booked here first and can be bailed out before any county transfer — a distinction that saves families hours.

Larry D. Smith Correctional Facility

1627 S Hargrave St, Banning, CA 92220

A county facility in the pass area. Longer holds are sometimes housed here even when the case is calendared downtown, so verify location before driving.
