2023 Revised Notes
All filings are to be made with the assigned administrative law judge after the request for hearing and filing fee are delivered to the Court. All filed papers must be served upon all parties and, if filed by mail, must be accompanied by a certificate of service. All papers filed with the Court must be letter size and must be printed only on one side of a page, unless the document exceeds 30 pages in length. Exhibits or other documents that exceed that size are to be reduced before filing unless the process of reduction would make them illegible.

Filing with the Court is defined as the date delivered to the Court or the date mailed by first class mail to the Court, along with a certificate of service. Filing with the Court may also be effectuated by methods which may be specifically approved by the Court through administrative order. Unless otherwise approved by administrative order of the Court, parties may not file documents with the Court by e-mail. The Court has an e-filing system for attorneys. The procedures for utilizing the e-filing system are posted on the Court's website at scalc.net. The document filed through the efiling system must also comply with all other Rules of the ALC.
