E-File Frequently Asked Questions

The term "eFiling" refers to an electronic filing system. An eFiling system is a robust system designed to streamline Court filings. When documents are eFiled, the Clerk's Office will approve the filings and route the documents to the Judge and support staff, and electronically serve interested parties on the case.

Benefits for attorneys include saving time and money, in addition to:

• Cost savings (paper, parking, courier fees)
• Ability to file outside of regular business hours
• Better use of resources
