Mariposa: Mother Of Counties

Mariposa County was formed in September 1850, even before California became the 31st State of the Union. Four years later the Mariposa County courthouse was built. The Court has conducted normal proceedings continuously in this courthouse ever since, the longest active period for any courthouse west of the Rocky Mountains.

Our Presiding Judge is the Honorable Wayne R. Parrish and Assistant Presiding Judge is the Honorable F. Dana Walton.

Warning to the Public Regarding Identity Theft

The Mariposa County Superior Court has become aware of telephone scams by identity thieves targeting members of the public. They call, claiming to be court employees needing social security numbers for jury service.

Court and jury employees do not--and will not--telephone jurors or potential jurors and ask them to disclose personal financial information.

The Court suggests that you hang up on any caller who claims to be a court employee seeking this information.

Similar scams have been reported recently in Los Angeles, Riverside and, San Bernadino counties as well as other states. We urge all members of the public to be aware of such scams and be careful whenever you reveal confidential information over the telephone.

“If you have business at the Courthouse and require accommodations because of a disability, please contact the Court at 209 966-2005. The Court requires notification in advance in order to provide certain accommodations, such as a sign language interpreter. Please contact the Court as soon as possible to insure the availability of the accommodation you need.”
