Fresno is the county seat of Fresno County. It maintains the main county courthouse on Van Ness in the Fresno County Plaza for criminal and some civil court cases.

The [[United States District Court for the Eastern District of California|United States District Court, Eastern District of California]], has one of its six divisions based in the [[Robert E. Coyle]] Courthouse. The new courthouse replaced the [[B.F. Sisk]] Federal Building in 2006 because it did not have enough space for the growing Fresno Division. After extensive renovation, the building reopened in November 2010 as the B.F. Sisk Courthouse serving the [[California superior courts|Fresno County Superior Court]].

Fresno is also the seat of the [[California Courts of Appeal|Court of Appeal for the Fifth Appellate District]], for which a new courthouse was built in 2007 in the old Armenian Town section of downtown Fresno across from the Fresno Convention Center. The Fifth District Court of Appeal's courthouse was formally dedicated as the George N. Zenovich Building, after former [[state senator]] and [[associate justice]] of the Fifth District, [[George N. Zenovich]].
