LASC: Mandatory Electronic Filing Effective Nov. 10, 2025, for Represented Parties in Lanterman Petris Short Conservatorship and Assisted Outpatient Treatment Mental Health Case Types

Effective Nov. 10, 2025, the Court will implement mandatory electronic filing (e-filing) for represented parties and agencies in all Lanterman Petris Short (LPS) Conservatorship and Assistant Outpatient Treatment (AOT) cases, including Murphy Conservatorships. E-filing enhances efficiency and the Court’s ability to maintain complete, and easily accessible records.

While no filing fee may be charged to file documents involving cases arising from the Lanterman Petris Short Act, Electronic Filing Service Provider (EFSP) fees for e-filing will apply.

Self-represented litigants are exempt from mandatory e-filing; however, self-represented litigants may e-file documents through an EFSP or may file documents in person at the clerk’s office or by U.S. mail.
