After December 4, 2017
…once eFiling has begun, the court will have a one-month permissive phase—where eFiling is permitted but not required—to give both filers and the clerks a chance to get accustomed to the process. During this time we recommend that you:
- Use Double Check. Have a document specialist go over your first few documents to help you identify common issues and solve problems.
- Attend office hours. Our training specialists host special office hours twice a week to answer questions, provide specific demonstrations, and otherwise help customers with the eFiling process. It’s a chance to learn how to make the most out of eFiling through One Legal.
- Pay close attention to comments. Remember that the court clerks are learning the new rules too, and any remarks they leave on your documents are an opportunity for you to learn more about what they will be looking for in the future.
- Continue to review our guides and checklists, and subscribe to our blog for updates, industry insights, and how-to articles for the world of eFiling and beyond.
