Mandatory eFiling for Attorneys in Most Cases Begins Monday
Oakland, Calif. – October 20, 2023 – Starting Monday, all attorneys filing cases in family law, probate, mental health, and adoption must electronically file their documents using a court-approved electronic filing service provider.
This mandatory e-filing requirement is the last step in the Superior Court of Alameda County’s transition of all case types, except traffic, to a modern, electronic case management system. Case types in family law, probate, mental health, and adoption were moved to eCourt over Labor Day weekend joining civil cases which were transitioned to the system in 2021. Criminal and juvenile cases are also stored electronically on the Odyssey platform.
Litigants representing themselves are encouraged to e-file but it is not mandatory.
