Electronic filing mandate in Kansas courts to take effect June 25

TOPEKA—Beginning June 25, all Kansas-licensed attorneys who are permitted to practice law under Supreme Court Rule 208(a) must electronically file documents in cases before any state court.

Self-represented parties will continue to file paper documents.

The Kansas Supreme Court amended two rules to support this mandate:

• Supreme Court Rule 119: Fax Filing and Service by Fax

• Supreme Court Rule 122: Electronic Filing and Service by Electronic Means

Attorneys who are not yet filing electronically are encouraged to visit the Kansas Courts Electronic Filing web page on the judicial branch website to:

• register to efile

• access training videos

• enroll in webinars
