E-Filing is MANDATORY for all PARTIES on ALL CIVIL CASE TYPES

All e-Filing requirements can be found at 52nd District Court LAO 2023-01

Filing Information:

• When searching for a case, use the format YY-#####-TY (two digit year-five digit case number-case type). 
• ALL separately captioned documents must be filed as separate documents in a bundle. For example: Notice of Motion Hearing, Motion and Brief are three separate documents in the same bundle.
• Proposed Stipulations and Orders must be submitted as one document, NOT as a separate Stipulation and a separate Proposed Order.
• A separate current Summons document is required at the time a Complaint is filed.
• When entering address information, please refrain from entering the full name of the firm and/or business and any c/o information. The party name (that will become the case caption) and mailing address are the only elements needed and required. Entering more than the required information will cause a delay in processing documents.
• New cases and orders submitted to the court will be returned with signatures once they are accepted or granted.
