The opening of the new $514 million Tani G. Cantil-Sakauye Sacramento Superior Courthouse in the Railyards also comes with a consequence for prospective jurors.

It’s a consequence that may lead those who get a jury summons to consider sneakers or comfortable shoes when reporting for jury duty.

The main jury parking lot for the new courthouse is still located in the same lot that was used for the old courthouse. The St. Joseph’s Jury Lot is located at 8th and G Streets.
