San Diego Superior Court Computer Systems Affected by Mass IT Outage

Jul 19, 2024
Court Services Update

Update: Due to the diligent work of the court’s IT team throughout the night and early this morning, most courtrooms were operational by 10 a.m., and the remaining few courtrooms should be working normally shortly. Many business offices are also operating normally, though with some minor related delays. All business offices are anticipated to be fully operational by noon today. 


The San Diego Superior Court was affected by the mass IT outage and we are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. Courtrooms are prioritized to be repaired and several are already operational. If you have a court date this morning, please report to the courtroom as scheduled. If you were permitted to and planned to appear remotely, you may do so, however, you may need to wait in the Microsoft Teams “lobby” if that courtroom has not yet been repaired. We hope that all courtrooms will be operational later this morning.

 The computers in the business offices will also require manual repairs. We are making every effort to repair all computers today, however, litigants should anticipate delays in the business offices and with administrative functions.

 Online applications including the Court Index, Registers of Actions, payment portals, e-Filing and telephone systems are operational. The public is urged to visit the Court’s website at sdcourt.ca.gov to handle traffic tickets or obtain court information.
