You can use One Legal to file court documents all of California's 58 superior courts.
Where eFiling is available, your filing will be submitted to the court electronically (learn more about eFiling in the eFiling basics section).
Where electronic filing is not available, your documents will be printed and physically delivered to the courthouse by a One Legal court runner (learn more in the physical paper filing section).
When you are in the court filing platform, you will see the indication in the upper left of the screen whether you are eFiling or physically filing:

The table below shows only courts that have enabled electronic court filing. File into all other courts using One Legal's traditional paper filing offering.
Note: eFiling is only ever mandated for represented parties. Self-represented parties may continue to file paper documents.
