Where people file

Built for the courts you'll actually walk into.

California's Judicial Council forms work in every California superior court. Federal pro se forms are national, used in every U.S. district court, though each district adds its own local rules. Point at a city to see its courts.

    How it works

    Three steps from blank forms to a packet you can file.

    1

    Answer simple questions

    Tell CaseFill your situation in plain English. Each answer goes to every form that asks for it, so you type your name and case number once.

    2

    We check your work

    Before you download, CaseFill looks for blank required fields, text that won't fit in a box, and private numbers that shouldn't be in a public court file.

    3

    Download your packet

    Get your filled forms as PDFs in one zip, with a checklist of what to sign, file, and serve. Then you sign, file at the clerk's window or on your court's e-filing site, and have someone else serve the other side. CaseFill doesn't file for you.

    Bank-vault privacy

    Your case stays on your computer.

    Court papers hold your address, your children's names, and your income. CaseFill is built so that none of it ever reaches us. The forms are filled by your own browser, the same way a calculator works offline. Your case is saved in your own browser, like a file on your own computer.

    • No trackingThe only cookie keeps you signed in. No analytics, no ads.
