The Los Angeles Superior Court currently has a backlog in processing new eFilings. This has resulted in a waitlist of pending filings.

This weekend, the Los Angeles Superior Court will transition to the next phase of providing for mandatory efiling for all limited and unlimited jurisdiction civil cases.

The Los Angeles Superior Court has begun implementing electronic filing (efiling) of all documents filed in the Civil Division.

When submitting a new case with a CCP 1033 or B&P 6322 code, please note that you must also submit a _Business & Professions Code 6322.1 (c)(1)_ filing.

The General Order Re Mandatory Electronic Filing for Civil is posted on the Court’s website at www.lacourt.org. The Court suggests that litigants read the Order.

The initial fee for the jury demand can be paid via efiling by selecting the “Notice of Posting of Jury Fees” document type during the efiling process.

Certified copies may be requested from the Court’s records unit by mail or in person.

The filer may submit a document “conditionally under seal” by selecting that Filing Document Name pending a ruling by the Court pursuant to California Rules of Court rules 2.550-2.551. The document will be sealed pending a ruling by the Court.

The filer may not establish a document’s security level. In other words, a document submitted as “confidential” by the filer will only become confidential pursuant to legal authority or if that determination is made by the Court.
