Clerk Of Court: Electronic Filing Switch Successful
April 8, 2013
Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller Pam Childers said Friday that the April 1 mandatory date for electronic filing of court documents in civil cases was successful. More than 300 filings totaling 600 documents were electronically filed Monday. Electronic filing enables Childers to reduce costs, increase timeliness in the processing of cases, and provide improved service to the public and judiciary.
While attorneys must now electronically file any civil, family law or probate documents with the Clerk of Court, those parties who represent themselves will still file paper documents with the Clerk. Electronic filing will be mandatory in criminal cases in October.
Childers’ office provides daily updates to the legal community in an effort to keep them aware of updates and policy changes in assisting with the transition to a less paper intensive environment.
