Alameda County Superior Court
Commissioner Toni Mims-Cochran’s day starts 40 minutes before the doors of her Hayward Hall of Justice courtroom open.
That’s when case managers start interviewing litigants inside the Alameda County Superior Courthouse, gathering details on custody, living arrangements and visitation. They double-check the income and expense declarations so Mims-Cochran can rule on child support payments.
