The Riverside Hall of Justice is the largest criminal courthouse in Riverside County — about 21 criminal courtrooms — and the venue for DUI cases arising in the Riverside metro region. Here's what to know, and the deadline that can't wait.
Riverside Hall of Justice — court & DMV details
Why your case is here
The Hall of Justice at 4100 Main Street is the criminal hub for the Riverside metro region — the county's largest criminal courthouse, sitting in the downtown civic core directly across Main Street from the separate Historic Courthouse at 4050 Main (a common mix-up). DUIs from Riverside, Jurupa Valley, Norco, Eastvale, and Perris are generally heard here, and CHP arrests on the I-215, SR-91, and SR-60 interchanges nearby funnel in. Moreno Valley and Corona also operate their own courthouses, so some cases from those cities are heard locally — call and we'll confirm where yours goes.
The 10-day DMV deadline
Your Hall of Justice court case is separate from the DMV's case against your license, and the DMV gives you only 10 days from arrest to request a hearing. Because there's no Driver Safety Office inside Riverside County, act quickly. How the DMV hearing works →
