PUBLIC NOTICES AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

E-FILING IS COMING TO THE COURT ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 2021

Like more than 30 other California superior courts, Mendocino Superior Court is pleased to announce the electronic filing will be available to most court filing parties and their attorneys, beginning on Monday, February 8, 2021. You can e-file from your office or home, 24/7 and filings will be received and processed by the court the following business day.   It is safe, secure and convenient.
Electronic filing will be mandatory for most civil, family law, probate and juvenile case types.  It will also be required for certain criminal filings.  The court has adopted a Standing Order for Electronic Filing of Court Cases.  The Standing Order describes technology requirements and also lists documents that are exempt from e-filing.

Self-represented litigants are not required to e-file their documents, although e-filing is strongly encouraged.
