Supreme Court Launches Mandatory eFiling
Court publishes amended rules, FAQs for mandatory electronic filing beginning September 1
The Supreme Court of California today launched mandatory eFiling and published amended rules and other resources to support expansion of its electronic filing system.
The court adopted a phased approach to implementing eFiling, which started July 10 and was initially voluntary. The amended rules released today reduce the related number of paper copies required for civil and criminal filings to one.
This "phased approach" means that the court is only mandating e-filing for pre-grant documents (e.g., petitions for review). See the e-filing info page here.
