CourtFileNow

  • Saves time
  • Saves money
  • Enhances performance
  • Enhances communication between parties

CourtFileNow’s Web-based eFiling system has a highly intuitive design and built-in flexibility to fit workflow and process variations. It is designed for high performance, security, and reliability. Cloud-based Infrastructure further reduces costs, and provides demonstrated 99.99% availability.

NO Tax dollars are needed to fund CourtFileNow eFiling license and ongoing support.

CourtFileNow is funded by a one-time appearance fee per case by attorneys, with no cost to the county for the system license and ongoing maintenance and support.

Covered costs include:

  • License and installation
  • Customized training based on county size
  • Annual maintenance and support

Advantages of CourtFileNow versus the competition:

  • Counties do not have to fit their workflow into CourtFileNow. We customize the system to fit the county’s work and process flows.
  • There is one degree of separation between the county and the original developers of the system, who are still on staff.
  • Today’s system embodies three years of intensive research and development. Weekly meetings with judges, clerks, and attorney groups have resulted in an eFiling system that effectively serves the needs of all constituencies.
  • A retired Superior Court Judge is on staff as an eFiling consultant. This judge headed the Data Board for the County Courts and spearheaded development and feedback from the user communities for the flagship system. This makes it possible for CourtFileNow to offer assistance in developing local rules.
  • We conduct ongoing and continuous attorney outreach to support the success of the system.
  • We transform user group ideas into improvements to the system.
  • CourtFileNow works well with both large and small law firms.
  • The Calendar is robust and easy to use and also provides the ability to access documents.
  • The system allows customizable process flow and work flow.
  • The county “owns the data.” CourtFileNow does not resell the data.

CourtFileNow Features:

  • Seamless integration with your existing court case management system to eliminate duplication of entries and wasted effort, and to present a uniform view of court case records.
  • Administrative tools for managing staff for courts, clerks, and attorney firms.
  • Workflow and routing tools that allow customized workflows for courts, clerks, and attorneys.
