🚨 Jury Duty Scam Alert

The Superior Court of Los Angeles County is warning residents about a reported jury duty scam involving callers who falsely claim that someone missed jury service and has an outstanding warrant.

⚠️ Remember: The Court will never threaten arrest, demand immediate payment, or request Social Security numbers, credit card details, or bank information by phone or email.

If you receive a suspicious jury-related message, do not provide personal information, make payments, click links, or respond. Verify your jury service status through official Court resources.

Help spread the word and protect yourself and others from jury duty scams.

LACBA is saddened to share the passing of Richard A. Curtis, a retired commissioner of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County, who died on July 27, 2026, at the age of 81. 🕊️

During his 25 years on the bench, Curtis spent 22 years presiding over Family Law matters.

In 1994, he received the Chief Justice Warren E. Burger “Healer” Award for his efforts to educate divorcing parents about the needs of their children, an honor he considered the most meaningful of his professional career.
