> Good day,
>
> I have a quick question regarding the process of filing forms with the
> Los Angeles Superior Court. I am seeking additional insight into this
> process.
>
> I understand there are two sets of forms. One is the local Los
> Angeles County version and the other is the statewide (California)
> Judicial Council version. In most instances, I understand that both
> versions are accepted by the LA Superior Court. In some instances,
> one version may not be accepted by the Court while the other version
> is accepted. A specific example of such a conflict pertains to the
> Memorandum of Costs on Appeal (RC053) form. I have heard that the
> clerk of the LA Superior Court is now recommending the filing of the
> statewide Judicial Council form version. In addition to my contacting
> the clerk for clarification, what I am hoping to find out is whether
> or not anyone has had an experience where a specific form which was,
> figuratively, accepted yesterday is no longer accepted by the Court
> today. The consequences of filing an inappropriate form is not good to
> say the least. Has anyone relied on a forms service where a form,
> retrieved from the service, was not accepted by the Court? I am on
> the library side and not on the managing attorney side of the aisle;
> in addition, I am located on the east coast. For these reasons, my
> experiences on these issues are secondhand. Any hands-on insight
> gained from your experiences would be so appreciated.
>
> If you are not the correct person, please feel free to forward this
> request on to any managing attorney-types in your organization. A
> response can be forwarded directly to me at
> meringoloj@dicksteinshapiro.com.
