Proposed Orders in the Los Angeles Civil Division

Last Update: February 5th, 2024

The Los Angeles Superior Court — in accordance with California Rule of Court 3.1312 (c) — now requires all parties electronically filing (e-filing) proposed orders for Civil Division cases (except for small claims cases) to submit proposed orders as both a PDF (Portable Document File) AND as a separate editable word-processing file (Microsoft Word document file).

Editable versions of proposed orders are not required with proposed orders utilizing approved Judicial Council of California forms and Los Angeles Superior Court forms.
Proposed Order Cover Sheet

Parties submitting these proposed orders must add the Proposed Order Cover Sheet (Form EFS-020) to the proposed order PDF and submit the documents as a single PDF.

The above procedure will be included in future proposed changes to Los Angeles Superior Court Local Court Rule 3.4 (a), regarding Mandatory Electronic Filing.
