Courts may create and maintain records in electronic forms and authorize the signing or verification of trial court documents using a computer or other technology. The clerk of the court may certify a copy of the record by electronic or other technological means, if the means adopted by the court reasonably ensures that the certified copy is a true and correct copy of the original record, or of a specified part of the original record.
Judicial Council rules establish the standards and guidelines for the creation, maintenance, reproduction, and preservation of court records, based on industry standards. (GC 68150)
