These are the currently active criminal courts which make up the Kern County Superior Court. The court that you are assigned, will depend upon where you were initially pulled over or where the traffic collision occurred. The Date and time for your first court date will be at the bottom of your notice to appear, for those notices that look like a traffic ticket.  If they give you an 8 1/2" x 11" notice, it can be an anywhere on the document.  If you bailed out with a bail bondsman, then there will be no notice to appear.  In this event, the bondsman would give you the date.  You must appear in court on all felony filings, but if you secure a law firm to represent you, then the attorney will be able to represent you in your absence.
