The Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino formerly served residents of the City of San Bernardino and the surrounding communities of Redlands, Fontana, and Twin Peaks in nine separate facilities. These facilities poorly served the growing needs of the superior court, and the lack of consolidated facilities exacerbated the functional problems of the main court facilities.The nexus of court operations was the downtown court complex, consisting of two facilities. The historic San Bernardino Courthouse was constructed in 1926 as a county office and court facility and is on the National Register of Historic Places. This courthouse originally had 2 courtrooms and a boardroom and later housed 15 marginal courtrooms. This facility was expanded in 1958 with the construction of the adjoining San Bernardino Courthouse Annex behind the historic courthouse.

Courthouse is located on the left side of the street in the County Building. The Superior Court of California, County of San Bernardino, also known as the San Bernardino County Superior Court or San Bernardino Superior Court, is the branch of the California superior court with jurisdiction over San Bernardino County. Superior Court of San Bernardino County is one of 58 trial courts in California serving the largest county in the contiguous United States―reaching south of the San Bernardino Mountains, to the Nevada border and the Colorado River.

“But I think that you, as government officials, should be able to protect all Americans, regardless of age, gender, race, or anything like that. But the children and their attorneys argued this case is just as much about mitigating future damage. That included Genesis B., a 17-year-old from Long Beach, whose family does not have air conditioning. She has experienced summer temperatures so hot that she waits until sunset to start homework.

After reviewing three sites and public opinions fond of the new courthouse idea, the supervisors bought a block on North Arrowhead Street and issued a $450,000 bond for the construction of the new courthouse. A civil matter involves a lawsuit where one party sues another to recover money, property, to enforce a contract or an obligation, to collect damages for injury (tort), or to protect some civil right. Federal attorneys argued no court ruling would be able to fix previous damage from climate change.

San Bernardino’s judicial officers hear every case type under state law including civil, probate, mental health, family, juvenile dependency and delinquency, criminal, and traffic. A judge and jury sometimes hear witness testimony and other evidence and decide cases by applying the relevant law to the relevant facts. Cases range from disputes between landlords and tenants to corporate lawsuits; guardianships to court-ordered treatment in a psychiatric hospital; and simple traffic infractions to homicide. Located at what is now Court and D streets, the opera house was built four years before Los Angeles had one of its own and was for many years perhaps the finest and most elaborate theater in Southern California.

This facility, referred to as the "T-Wing," was originally designed as offices for county agencies with no courtrooms. Over time, the T-Wing was pressed into service as a courthouse, housing 11 makeshift courtrooms. The project consolidated court operations, replacing seven facilities, and includes space for court administration, a court clerk, court security operations, a holding area, and facility support space. The building's sustainability features were designed for it to receive LEED Silver certification by the U.S. The project went on to achieve LEED Gold certification because of the shared sustainability goals of the Judicial Council of California (JCC), the court, the architect, and the builder. A drop box is located at the front entrance and available for properly completed documents, program completions and fine payments (check or money order only, no cash).

The opera house was built by mountain man-turned civic leader James W. Waters and his partner, Herman Brinkmeyer, as an investment in 1882. The beautiful red brick edifice with white facade topped by a golden eagle was known throughout the country for presenting top quality shows and concerts.

His coverage focuses on the intersection of air quality and environmental health. Prior to joining The Times, Briscoe was an investigative reporter for ProPublica in Chicago and an environmental beat reporter at the Chicago Tribune. In the coming weeks, Fitzgerald will rule on whether the case can proceed to trial. Ironically, in a case adjudicating the rights of children, the 18 plaintiffs — who live in communities that have been devastated by wildfires, flooding or heat waves — remained silent in the courtroom Monday. Adam Stein-Sapir, a bankruptcy expert at the New York City-based Pioneer Funding Group, said the bankruptcy will pause any state court litigation and collections actions by creditors and/or lenders, which will give Shangri-La breathing room to get its financial affairs in order.

Gov. Gavin Newsom launched Project Homekey in June 2020 to protect unhoused individuals from the threat of the coronavirus pandemic. The state has allocated more than $3 billion to cities and counties to purchase motels, hotels, vacant apartment buildings and other properties to provide permanent housing for the homeless. The fourth, at a former Motel 6 in San Ysidro, was funded under the state Community Care Expansion program, said Brian Sun, the attorney representing Shangri-La. That program funds the acquisition, construction and/or rehabilitation of adult and senior care facilities to serve people who receive Social Security and other government aid and are at risk of or experiencing homelessness.

Sun said the bankruptcy filings are part of the developer’s plan to restructure and finish its commitments on the various Homekey projects. In a 321-page lawsuit filed in January in Los Angeles Superior Court, the state Housing and Community Development Department alleged Shangri-La breached its obligations under terms of its agreements with the Homekey program. It later was revealed that dozens of mechanic’s liens totaling millions of dollars have been filed over the past year at recorders’ offices in San Bernardino, Ventura and Monterey counties, the site of other Homekey projects in which Shangri-La was involved.

The María Merced Williams and John Rains House, built in 1860, has a history as colorful as the property’s gardens. Namesakes Rains and Merced, granddaughter of the prominent landowner Don Antonio Maria Lugo, built the home to withstand the hot Inland Southern California climate, and of course to entertain. The home featured multiple large rooms and guest quarters as well as an open flume that carried water from springs through the kitchen and into the patio under the house to the orchard, providing water to the plants and cooling the home. The ribbon cutting ceremony was followed by an open house, which showcased the recent improvements. These significant investments will improve visitor experience, increase opportunities for learning and enjoyment, and ensure this historically significant site is protected and relevant for years to come.

According to Sun columnist Earl E. Buie, in one of his “They Tell Me” columns in 1958, the Opera House’s seating capacity was between 1,200 and 1,400. Longtime San Bernardino resident Janet Miles, who died in 2008 at age 107, recalled in her memoirs (published by the San Bernardino Historical and Pioneer Society in 1994) there were box seats on the north and south walls with red velvet curtains at the rear. Birdie Bohan and Edith Ulrich were the pianists, Ernest De Soto, the violinist, and Mr. Parsons played the drums. At the San Bernardino County Recorder’s Office alone, more than $2 million in liens had been filed in 2023 by contractors and suppliers not paid for work completed at the Redlands and San Bernardino motels.
