Self-represented litigants may, but will not be required to, efile documents using TrueFiling, even after the initial period of implementation. In addition, pursuant to Administrative Bulletin 92, parties who are required to efile documents using TrueFiling may file paper documents when there is a TrueFiling outage or malfunction or other internet system outage that makes eFiling impossible or impracticable, or when paper filing is necessary in the interest of justice.

The Supreme Court has authorized the Administrative Director to adopt provisional rules and procedures to support eFiling. See Supreme Court Order 1943. The signed provisional eFiling rules appear in Administrative Bulletin 92. These provisional rules are expected to change often as the court system gains more experience with eFiling. To suggest changes or additions to the provisional rules, please contact the Court Rules Attorney.
