The courthouse stands at 1100 Van Ness Avenue in downtown Fresno, and the V-LINE bus stops here, running to Visalia six times a day. An underground tunnel system links the building to the Fresno County Jail, so expect security screening and restricted areas as in any working court.
The courthouse allows people to file legal documents electronically, making the process simpler for those who cannot appear in person. This technology makes it more convenient for residents from remote areas to access the court system.
