New Supreme Court Rules for TrueFiling
TrueFiling is required in the California Supreme Court. It applies only to petitions for review, answers and replies to review petitions, and motions related to review petitions. It applies to briefs and habeas petitions only in capital cases. The Supreme Court rules are similar to the practices in the Sixth District, except an electronic signature is acceptable. Updated Supreme Court Rules require just one unbound copy of the document to be mailed to the court within two days of the electronic filing. The mailed copy need not arrive within two days if mailed; however, if a stay is requested, then a copy must be delivered to the court by the next court day. The opinion attached to the review petition no longer needs to be consecutively paginated. It still needs to be searchable.
This requires obtaining sufficiently advanced software, such as Adobe Acrobat Pro, that can append and convert the opinion into a searchable format.
