Why your case is here

Harbor is the designated criminal and traffic court for South Orange County. A DUI arrest in Irvine, Newport Beach, Mission Viejo, Lake Forest, the Laguna cities, Aliso Viejo, Dana Point, or San Clemente is generally heard here at 4601 Jamboree Road. The courthouse sits beside John Wayne Airport, in the heart of the affluent coastal-to-inland area it serves — a stretch with heavy weekend and Pacific Coast Highway DUI enforcement.

The 10-day DMV deadline
