California's second-most-populous county; its superior court hears matters at the downtown Central Courthouse and regional centers in Vista, El Cajon, and Chula Vista. The court of record is the Superior Court of California, County of San Diego · counsel who appear there regularly read the local calendar better than any brochure.

The law also keeps time: mechanics liens: record within 90 days of completion (60/30 days after a notice of completion) under Cal. Civ. Code § 8412. Suit to foreclose the lien must follow within 90 days of recording (Cal. Civ. Code § 8460). Defect claims run four years for patent defects (Cal. Code Civ. Proc. § 337.1) and ten for latent (§ 337.15). The plaque below carries the citation; the roster that follows carries the rest.
