San Francisco County Superior Court: Courtesy Copy Reminder
This is an important reminder of the requirement imposed by San Francisco Local Rule 2.7 to provide courtesy copies for any filed document requiring court review, action, or signature.
Unless a different deadline is required in the local rules pertaining to a specific court, department or division, or in an order shortening time, parties must lodge courtesy copies of any papers as follows:
- For all papers filed fewer than 7 court days before the hearing, parties must lodge courtesy copies on the day of filing.
- For papers filed by E-filing 7 or more court days before the hearing, courtesy copies required by a court division must be lodged no later than 2 court days after the date of E-filing.
- If a motion challenges the sufficiency of a pleading already on file, the moving party must also supply a courtesy copy of that pleading. Courtesy copies of all subsequent filings relating to the motion must be delivered.
- Special Notice for Departments 301 & 302, Law & Motion: If the courtesy copy is not received, the motion will be taken off the calendar and the moving party will be required to re-file it. See LRSF 8.2A2(b). When filing through First Legal, please note that courtesy copies are not automatically delivered on your behalf. If you would like First Legal to deliver a courtesy copy with your eFiling, please include this request in your special instructions.
