Filings of Pleadings

An active member of the Oregon State Bar must file documents using the electronic filing system, instead of conventional filing, unless:

The document is required to be conventionally filed under UTCR 21.070(3); or
The filer has obtained a waiver under UTCR 21.140(2); or
The document is required to be conventionally filed under SLR 2.501.

Self-represented litigants may choose to electronically file their documents, or alternatively, may file them conventionally. Conventional filing is a process where a filer files the paper document with the court. Criminal pleadings may be filed on the 1st floor, at the Public Service Center, or may be mailed to the court.

Exhibits Information

Documents and physical exhibits should be brought to court, with any required copies for opposing parties and the judge. If you have digital exhibits (video/audio recording) for use as evidence during your upcoming trial or hearing, please file them with the court as much in advance of your hearing as possible. See instructions for in person and remote appearances on the Exhibits Instructions page.
