Update on King County Superior Court Mandatory E-filing:

Mandatory electronic filing for attorneys in King County Superior Court started July 1, 2009 (see LGR30). Pro Se parties may choose to e-file but are not required to do so. A new version of our E-Filing application with improved features and streamlined processes was released in support of this initiative.

The E-Filing application consists of four distinct processes: 
    · Filing documents into an existing case or to start a new case; 
    · Ex Parte submissions via the Clerk; 
    · Creating and submitting Working Copies electronically; and 
    · Electronic service of e-filed documents.

Please note :

• E-filing a document(s) does not automatically submit the document(s) to Ex Parte or produce a Working Copies packet for the Court. 
• If you are using Adobe Typewriter to add text to a PDF formatted document, you must print and scan the document prior to E-Filing.
