VENTURA — The Ventura Superior Court announces the launch of the Court-Ordered Civil Mediation Program.
Beginning November 10, 2025, civil lawsuits with amounts in controversy of $50,000 or less per plaintiff may be ordered to mediation at the Court’s discretion. Subject to the Court’s approval, parties may also voluntarily agree to participate in court-ordered mediation regardless of the amount in controversy.
VENTURA — Beginning August 4, 2025, the Clerk’s Offices and the Records Department will be open from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm each weekday except Court holidays. These offices will no longer close during the lunch hour, allowing customers greater flexibility in accessing court services. Each of the Court’s three courthouses – Hall of Justice in Ventura, Juvenile Courthouse in Oxnard, and East County Courthouse in Simi Valley – will feature these extended hours.
