Question: How does the court return a signed copy of the accepted Proposed Order?

Answer: Starting on 2/26/2018, the Court began requiring you to add yourself as a Service Contact in the Service Contacts section of the filing AND select yourself for e-service there as well. This enables the Court to provide you with an emailed copy of the final order.

Question: What happens if I do not select myself as a service contact when submitting the Proposed Order?

Answer: If you do NOT select yourself for e-service in the service contacts section at the time of submitting the filing, the Court does not have the ability to serve a copy of the order electronically through our system and you will need to reach out to the court directly for a copy.

What do I do if I have more questions about Proposed Orders?

Answer: If you have additional questions about e-filing Proposed Orders into the Santa Clara Superior Court, please contact the appropriate court division using the information located on Santa Clara’s Contact page https://santaclara.courts.ca.gov/general-information/locations-contact-info.
