A Message from the Appellate Court Administrator
In the past, the Appellate Court Records Office returned acknowledgment postcards to practitioners who submitted postcards with their paper filings. This practice is no longer necessary given that the appellate electronic filing system in use now causes an automatically returned email acknowledgement of receipt of eFiled documents. Further, lawyers who have access to the Appellate Case Management System can also see what documents have reached the Appellate Court Records Office in eFiled form or which have been scanned from hard copy form into our document repository.
For these reasons, we will discontinue marking and returning postcards that are received after January 1, 2012.
If you do not have access to the Appellate Case Management System and would like to make arrrangements for same, please visit courts.oregon.gov/OJD/OnlineServices/OJIN/index.page?
Look for the "Get Started" tab on the left of the screen. Click on the "OJIN on Line application" and that will open the necessary form.

Appellate Court Records Section
The Appellate Court Records Section (ACRS) serves as the case processing office for both the Oregon Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals, and manages the records of all cases on appeal to both courts. As such, the ACRS processes appeals of various case types, including civil and criminal cases, lawyer and judicial disciplinary cases, Oregon Tax Court cases, cases of original Supreme Court jurisdiction, ballot measure titles, and judicial review of most state administrative actions. The ACRS is responsible for processing all documents filed in those courts, calendaring all oral arguments, distributing opinions and issuing appellate judgments.
In July of 2009, in addition to the conventional method of receiving documents, the ACRS began receiving and processing case documents and filing fees via a new electronic filing (eFiling) system, and has been working with our eFiling customers to help ensure a smooth transition for all involved. We believe this state of the art technology will help reduce the cost of processing cases for both the eFiling customers and for the court.
