New Case Management System
Riverside Superior Court is transitioning to a new case management system on Tuesday, January 21, 2025 for criminal and traffic. Riverside Public Access (RPA) will no longer be available to view cases or calendars. In anticipation of the transition, you can now register/sign-in to the Public Portal. The Public Portal allows access to Riverside Superior Court case information for probate, family law, civil, and after 1/21/25, criminal and traffic cases, including the index, register of actions and calendar information. Information available on the Public Portal, including document access, is limited to what the California Rules of Court, rules 2.500 et. seq. allow.
