Are there requirements to eFile voluntarily during the transition period?
Yes. Each party represented by counsel in a case must agree to eFiling. If they do, then after registering with www.casefilexpress.com, a “Consent Notice of eFiled Case” should be eFiled. The Notice should list the names of lead counsel for each party and whom they represent, counsel’s address, telephone and Bar numbers, as well as, email address. The Notice should also include the names and email addresses of any other counsel who are to be eServed. The case judge must be eServed as well. The Consent Notice should also include in the Certificate of Service the names of persons to be served, how they are served and if they are pro se, the mailing address. A sample Notice is available on page 10 of the Administrative Order. Please go to www.dccourts.gov/efiling.
