Chambers: DELIVER a JUDGE'S COPY

3-02:  Chambers: DELIVER a JUDGE'S COPY

LBR 5005-2(d) provides the requirement to serve a judge's copy of many documents. 

A judge's copy is important to get your papers in front of the court as quickly as possible.

See link below include the address of the courthouse and suite number for a judge's chambers.

See link below for requirements on assembling and serving a judge's copy, which includes the requirement that a judge's copy must be stapled or bound in a way that the binding remains in place while the judge's copy is read. 

See link below to TCG Supplement where you will find helpful instructions:

  • Assembling a judge's copy:  Note that a judge's copy must be stapled or bound in a way that the binding remains in place while the judge's copy is read.   
  • Address to serve a judge's copy:  See the last pages of the TCG Supplement for a list of addresses to mail or drop off a judge's copy.   
  • Is a Judge's Copy Needed for Any Judge?:  Many documents DO NOT require a judge's copy for any judge.  See the list included in the TCG Supplement.          
  • Does My Judge Want a Judge's Copy?:  See the webpage for your judge to determine if there are specific instructions about serving a judge's copy. 

 See section 4 the link to LBR 5003-2(c) regarding filing documents under seal, and how that scenario impacts delivery of a judge's copy.
