2-02:  Addresses: Courthouses: JUDGE'S COPIES; Documents Filed under Seal

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