Local Rule 12 of the Court of Appeal First Appellate District requires all attorneys to file documents electronically through the Court's electronic filing system (EFS) operated by ImageSoft TrueFiling. Self-represented litigants may also register to use the EFS system, but it is not required. Documents must be in PDF format and must not exceed 25 MB in size. Electronic briefs must comply with the content and form requirements of California Rules of Court, rule 8.204. All documents must not include personal identifiers such as social security numbers, driver's license numbers, and financial account numbers unless otherwise provided by law or ordered by the Court. Filing documents electronically does not alter any filing deadlines. Self-represented parties may opt to file documents electronically, but are exempt from any fees and costs associated with the electronic filing. If electronic filing causes undue hardship or significant prejudice to any party, the party can lodge the number of paper copies required by the California Rules of Court without regard to electronic filing. Failure to comply with the EFS filing requirements may result in sanctions.
