FINAL 2021 Annual Report

A MESSAGE FROM COURT LEADERSHIP

Reflecting on the State of the Court message from 2020, San Bernardino Superior Court (SBSC) was poised to leap into the new decade with ambitious plans to expand service and access through the enhanced use of technology and physical access to our more remote locations. On March 16, 2020, those plans were placed on hold as the court swiftly moved into the full effects of the COVID-19 pandemic while balancing access to justice during severe budget reductions. The 2021 calendar year was when the court learned to be experts and stewards of the many changes to health and safety, and Cal/OSHA regulations. The pandemic continued to impact our ability to provide in-person services and staff our courtrooms and offices adequately.
