SACRAMENTO, CA (MPG) - The Sacramento Superior Court on June 17 launched the second phase of its new electronic case management system.

In 2023, the court introduced phase one for Civil and Probate case records. Effective June 17, 2024, the court’s expanded online services include Small Claims and Unlawful Detainer (landlord/tenant) cases as well as Limited and Unlimited Civil Appeals matters.

Previously, Small Claims and Unlawful Detainer litigants could e-file their documents but the aging case management system posed challenges. The new system offers robust e-filing capabilities for these case types and Limited and Unlimited Civil Appeals. The system also allows litigants and the public to access non-confidential case records and documents online at no cost.

Over time, the new system will enhance record accessibility and streamline processing for parties who choose to e-file their cases.

“These expanded online services improve access to justice,” said Presiding Judge Bunmi Awoniyi. “This is a positive development for litigants, the public and court staff alike.”
