Lindsay Lohan has violated the terms of her probation and is headed for a showdown in court next month that will almost certainly land her in jail.
Lohan -- who is on probation for DUI -- has not fulfilled the alcohol education requirement laid down by the judge ... TMZ has learned.
Judge Marsha Revel made it clear to Lindsay late last year, she must attend alcohol ed courses once every 7 days. The only exception -- if she was in inpatient rehab. And the judge was explicit ... if Lindsay did not comply with the terms of probation, she was going to jail.
The school in which Lindsay enrolled is required by state law to inform the court only if the student is MIA for 21 days. So here's the disconnect: The school has not reported an attendance violation ... because Lindsay frequently waited until the 21st day to attend classes.
Bottom line -- Lindsay met the school's requirement, but squarely violated the judge's order.
We've learned what's going to come out at Lindsay's progress hearing on May 20 -- that she has habitually violated the judge's requirement to attend classes at least once every 7 days. 
Judge Revel has made it clear to Lindsay -- no more chances. If probation is violated, she's going to jail ... and probation was repeatedly violated.
We asked Lindsay's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, for comment and received the following email: "We have received no negative written report from the program and contend Ms. Lohan is therefore in compliance." Good lawyering for sure, because -- as we just told you -- the program may not have a problem with Lindsay, but the judge is going to have a big problem.

About time.
But I'm not holding out hope. She'll get out of this, just watch. Either the judge will give her another chance or she'll spend a whole five minutes behind bars, which is hardly a punishment.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha *deep breath* hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
So why give her a heads up and give her a month to fix it and start going every day to make herself look better in court next month? Jail is probably the best thing that can happen to her.
My guess is she will implode by the third day in jail and become a long term patient in some mental hospital. Since she is broke the people of California will be paying the tab for that.
Court, 2 and 1/2 weeks away.
I bet here gun goes off before then.
OMG this is so ****ing boring!!!!!!!!!
WHERE IS MICHAEL JACKSON??????????????????????
That brings LIFE to TMZ
She won't get any real time. Under 30 Days... IF that. The California legal system is a joke. If you're even somewhat famous you'll get a slap on the wrist your entire life.
there is other issues , involved , like who ever gave tmz this information might have violated the federal hippa law . it is not a criminal record issue only but a medical issue too , i believe and so the person who gave that information also violated federal law and federal law takes precedent over state laws .
Meh. It's only a matter of time before she's giving *******s in a backalley for drug money.
And frankly, I've got my $2 ready and waiting.
