COURT OF APPEAL, 2ND APP DISTRICT
COURT OF APPEAL eFILING TO BE MANDATORY OCTOBER 30, 2017
The Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District will launch mandatory eFiling in all case types using the ImageSoft TrueFiling system starting October 30, 2017.
With all the Courts of Appeal and Supreme Court of California now using the ImageSoft TrueFiling system, improvements are expected during the next 12 months to make the system easier for filers and the courts. In addition, the courts will be working to standardize their formatting requirements and guidelines for preparing and filing electronic documents.
The court is mindful that eFiling brings significant changes in preparing and submitting filings and is working with members of the California Bar and others to develop standards and a system that works best for all, officials said.
California Rules of Court rules
8.71 and
8.73
govern implementation of the court's eFiling system. eFiling is not mandatory for self-
represented litigants.
The Court of Appeal, Second Appellate District has jurisdiction over cases originating in Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties.
