How to File a Stipulation and Order

 

How do I file a stipulation and order with multiple signatures?

  • You still need to e-file the PDF and then e-mail a Word or WordPerfect copy of the proposed order (or stipulated proposed order, if it is all one document) to the judge.
  • Chambers understands that the PDF which has been electronically filed will have all the signatures.
  • The judge still needs a non-PDF version to sign.
  • Include in the subject line of the e-mail the case number and title of the order.

Signatures

  • You can use the s/ signature format for attorney signatures on the Stipulation.
  • If there are non-attorneys signing, the PDF must show the actual signatures.
  • Some firms elect to have the signed version converted to PDF for filing, then use some form of “s/ signed on original” typed on the signature lines of the document being e-mailed to the judge.
