Effective June 1, 2015, eFiling will be mandatory for active Oregon State Bar (OSB) members in the Oregon Supreme Court and the Oregon Court of Appeals.  Active OSB members will be required to eFile in the appellate courts on and after that date, unless a waiver is obtained or court rule allows conventional filing.
